Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved. Add in the chicken, Italian seasoning, and cream. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a slight boil. Cover the pot with the lid slightly open.

Reduce the heat so it's simmering gently. Let it cook for 10 minutes.

Stir in the noodles and cover the pot again (lid slightly open) for a further 8-10 minutes. I like to stir it halfway just to ensure the noodles aren't sticking.

Take the chicken out of the pot and cut it up, then add it back in again and season the soup with salt & pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

You'll experience a deeply savory and velvety broth that coats every spoonful of this wholesome soup.

While delicious as is, you can easily adapt this creamy chicken noodle soup to your liking. For a different texture, try swapping the egg noodles for a smaller pasta like ditalini or elbow macaroni. If you prefer white meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for even more moisture. A pinch of dried thyme could also enhance the aromatic profile if you want to experiment beyond Italian seasoning.
This hearty soup is a complete meal on its own, ideal for a comforting family dinner or a cozy lunch. Serve it alongside a crusty piece of bread for dipping, or a simple green salad for a touch of freshness.
