Homemade Cream of Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe (Better than Grandmas)

You’ll never reach for canned chicken noodle soup again after trying this recipe. Today, we’re making real Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup—just as good as grandma’s, if not better. Tender, juicy chicken, fresh veggies with just the right bite, and a rich, velvety broth infused with herbs and a subtle kick of heat—every spoonful is pure comfort. And the best part? It’s perfect for meal prep—this soup freezes beautifully! The chicken stays incredibly tender because it’s added at the end, so no risk of overcooking.
