Chicken Alfredo soup is a simple chicken and vegetable soup recipe with creamy Alfredo sauce mixed in.
Chicken Alfredo Soup
Everyone loves a good classic chicken soup recipe, and Alfredo sauce is a pretty popular choice too. So why not combine the two? It’s a brilliant idea. Alfredo sauce makes this soup so creamy and delicious.
🛒Ingredients needed:
- vegetable or canola oil
- skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- carrots
- celery
- onion
- chicken broth
- jarred Alfredo sauce
- dried vegetable soup mix
- dried basil
- broken spaghetti noodles
✏️How to make Chicken Alfredo Soup:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
- In a large saucepan, heat one tablespoon of oil; cook chicken pieces until no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Saute the carrots, celery and onion over medium-heat until crisp-tender. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the broth, Alfredo sauce, soup mix and basil. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta, and heat through. Serve!
★Make Ahead and Storing Instructions:
You can absolutely make this soup a day or two ahead of serving time and keep it stored in the refrigerator. Just know that, the longer it sits, pasta tends to soak up liquid. So be prepared for that and have some extra chicken broth available in case you need to add more liquid before serving.
Chicken Alfredo soup may be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
➡️Recipe Tips and Substitutions:
- If you’d like to lighten things up, use a light or low-fat jarred Alfredo sauce option instead of regular.
- Use a different type of pasta, if you’d like. I recommend broken linguine or fettuccine. You can even use something like rotini or penne. Cheese ravioli would be good too!
- Experiment with adding in more vegetables. Try using zucchini and/or cauliflower.
✔️What to serve with Chicken Alfredo Soup:
This soup makes a great main dinner option. I love to serve it with one of my favorite salads, such as my avocado pine nut salad or my caesar salad with sourdough croutons. Add a hunk of your favorite French bread and some white wine, and you’ve got yourself a wonderful, comforting meal!
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- Soup is an excellent choice for dinner, but it’s also great for lunch leftovers!
- Alfredo sauce is a favorite in our house, so this soup has become a favorite as well.
- It’s an easy recipe to make, and it’s nice to store in the freezer for defrosting later.
