Keep It Creamy: Make sure the cream cheese is softened or cubed before adding it to help it melt smoothly.
Cook Noodles Separately (Optional): For leftovers, cook the noodles separately and add them to each bowl to prevent them from absorbing too much liquid in the fridge.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the ranch seasoning to suit your preference.
Variations and Substitutions
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a bit of heat.
Add More Veggies: Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for additional nutrients.
Lighten It Up: For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and swap some of the cheese with a sprinkle of Parmesan for flavor.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free noodles or rice instead of egg noodles.
Storing and Serving Crack Chicken Noodle Soup
This soup makes great leftovers, as it only gets more flavorful after a day or two in the fridge!
In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to reach desired consistency.
In the Freezer: You can freeze the soup without the noodles for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then add cooked noodles when reheating to avoid mushy noodles.
