Instructions

Gather all ingredients and cook the noodles separately until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, shredded chicken, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in heavy cream. Add cooked noodles and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or salad.

Notes

For a creamier texture, increase the amount of heavy cream.
Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on stovetop, adding extra broth or cream if thickened.
Remove noodles before freezing if planning to freeze, then add fresh noodles during reheating.
