Step 1
Start by pouring the chicken stock into a large pot along with the whole garlic bulb, peppercorns, and a bay leaf. Bring it all to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 35 minutes so the flavors can really meld together. Once that's done, strain out the garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf.

Step 2
Next, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, thyme bundle, salt, Italian seasoning, celery leaves, and some black pepper to the strained stock. Let everything simmer gently over medium-low heat until the carrots are nice and tender, which should take around 18 minutes.

Step 3
After that, bring the soup up to a gentle boil again and stir in the egg noodles and corn. Cook until the noodles are just tender but still have a little bite to them, about 8 minutes. Then, remove the thyme bundle and discard it.

Step 4
Finally, stir in the cooked chicken and cream, warming everything through for a few minutes. Once it’s heated, give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve up your cozy, creamy soup!
Why you’ll love it
This soup is comforting and full of flavor. The creamy broth pairs perfectly with tender chicken and hearty egg noodles. It’s a great meal for chilly days or when you want something warm and satisfying.
How to serve
Serve this soup hot with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dash of black pepper on top adds a nice touch. It also pairs well with a light white wine or iced tea.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the cream smooth. You can freeze the soup, but it’s best to add the noodles fresh after thawing to maintain their texture.
