Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Chicken and Noodles
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine your precooked chicken, crispy bacon, cream cheese, chicken broth, and milk. Stir gently for about 5-7 minutes, watching for the cream cheese to melt completely.
  2. Once the base is ready, add uncooked egg noodles and chopped carrots to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and carrots are slightly soft.
  3. Reduce the heat back to low and continue stirring the soup for an additional 5 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the flavorful broth.
  4. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Add ranch seasoning or any other favorite herbs to elevate the flavors.
  5. Ladle the hot Crack Chicken and Noodles into bowls, letting the warmth seep into each serving. Enjoy with a crusty piece of bread or a fresh salad.
