Sick days at our house always mean one thing… homemade chicken noodle soup 🤍 My daughter and grandson aren’t feeling their best, so I went straight to the kitchen and made the one recipe I always come back to. It’s creamy, rich, full of tender chicken, soft noodles, garlic, and just a little kick from crushed red pepper—everything you need in a cozy bowl. This is one of those recipes that feels like a hug. The kind you make without thinking when your people need a little extra love. I’m linking a few of my everyday kitchen favorites I used here—from my go-to pot to the simple tools that make this so easy to throw together. ✨ Bessie & Co.’s Chicken Noodle Soup One whole chicken 4 whole carrots, peeled 1 large onion, peeled + quartered 2 celery stalks 2–3 garlic cloves, smashed 1–2 tsp red pepper flakes Salt + pepper 1 quart heavy cream ½–1 bag wide egg noodles Boil chicken, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for 2 hours. Turn off heat and let everything cool together on the stovetop for 2–4 hours. Drain—saving the broth—and return broth to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Chop carrots + shred chicken and add both back in. Bring to a simmer, then add heavy cream and bring just to a boil. Add egg noodles and simmer for 10 minutes. Cover and let sit for 20–30 minutes. Cures whatever ails you 😉 Save this one for the next sick day 🤍 ⸻ carnationnation southernrootsmodernplates livingthedash comfortfood cozykitchen homemade easyrecipes southerncooking chickensoup LTKHome LTKfoodie LTKOver40
