What to Serve with Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
- Bread: My number one favorite is to dip a chunk of crusty bread into the creamy soup.
- Crackers or Croutons: Crumble some crackers or throw some seasoned croutons in there to soak up the creamy flavors.
- Salad: Soup and salad is a classic combo for a reason. Grab a bag salad, your favorite dressing to finish off this easy comfort dinner.

Storing & Reheating
Storing: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Ideally heat the soup up in a saucepan on low heat, add more chicken broth or heavy cream to help with the broth. You can also reheat in the microwave for a couple minutes on medium power.
Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this soup because cream based soups don’t always freeze successfully and the noodles tend to get extremely mushy.
