Creamy Crack Chicken Noodle Soup – Cozy Soups Recipes for Cold Nights

⭐ 4.8 from 16 reviews
⏱ Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins | Total Time: 35 mins
🍽 Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)
• 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup celery, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
• 12 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1½ cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta (uncooked)

Instructions

1. Prepare the bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Build the base. In a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat, add the shredded chicken, condensed soup, chicken broth, milk, softened cream cheese, carrots, celery, ranch seasoning, and most of the crumbled bacon (reserve some for garnish). Stir well to combine.
3. Bring to a gentle boil. Heat until the soup begins to bubble, stirring occasionally to help the cream cheese melt smoothly into the broth.
4. Simmer to develop flavor. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup cook for about 20–25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to blend together.
5. Add pasta and cheese. Break the pasta in half and stir it into the pot along with the shredded cheddar. Continue simmering until the noodles are tender and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Finish and serve. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with the remaining bacon on top for extra flavor and crunch.
