Creating the Crack Chicken Noodle Soup is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover them with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion, minced garlic, and carrots. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the remaining chicken broth, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and well combined.
5. Incorporate Noodles: Add the egg noodles and let them cook in the broth for about 10 minutes or until tender.
6. Add Chicken and Peas: Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add the frozen peas. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
7. Season: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, then top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
