What makes this Lightened Up Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup so special is that it doesn't require cream and it is made with simple, healthy ingredients. The creaminess comes from egg yolks and they also add a special, interesting note to the soup. My family loves this soup and I have no doubt yours will too. I used the same egg yolk mixture to make this Easy Greek Chicken Lemon Soup and it was a huge success.

Chicken Noodle Soup has a special place in my heart and stomach and I cook it quite often during the cold season. Nothing can beat the comforting taste of this creamy goodness.

If you like the broth to be thick, feel free to add about 2 tablespoons of flour and mix it with some broth before adding it to the soup. This will thicken things up. 🙂 I don't do this, because I enjoy the soup just the way it is.

Instead of using store-bought broth, I cook with water and add 2 tablespoons of Vegeta Seasoning. I've been doing so for many years now, and I highly recommend you give it a try. It is a tastier and cheaper option.

    I'm definitely a big soup eater come Fall and Winter. Never heard of the egg yolk addition to soup for creaminess. Great pictures and will have to try the egg yolks in soup 🙂
