This Cajun Chicken Noodle Soup is the perfect cozy meal to enjoy on those busy weeknights. With the Fall season rapidly approaching, it’s time to gather your favorite warm and cozy recipes and this yummy soup is at the top of my list.

It’s everything you love about the classic chicken noodle soup with the perfect amount of Cajun flavor. Not to mention, this soup recipe is also great for meal prep and freezes really well (freezer instructions below).

I have to warn you though, once you try this Cajun Chicken Noodle Soup, you won’t go back!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CAJUN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

While you are absolutely welcome to use any chicken for this recipe, to make it super quick and easy, I like to use shredded rotisserie chicken. It’s easy, flavorful, and saves so much time.

Besides the chicken, the second most important part of the recipe is the noodles! Of course you can use any pasta you’d like but I personally use No Yolks Extra Broad pasta.

I love No Yolks Extra Broad because it’s made with egg whites and low in sodium. Not to mention, they cook up so light and fluffy in only two minutes! 

So before you prepare your soup, be sure to head to your local Kroger to purchase No Yolks Extra Broad (be sure to get the 12oz bag) and say hello to fresh, filling soups!

Once you have all of your ingredients prepped, making this soup is a breeze! Simply grab a large pot (a Dutch oven also works great!), melt your butter, and add in your chopped onions, celery, and carrots.

Let this cook for about 4-6 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Next add in your broth, shredded chicken, and cajun seasoning and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes and then add in your No Yolks Extra Broad pasta and bring to a boil.

Once your soup is boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. 

If you’re planning to enjoy right away, once your soup is done, simply garnish with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!

If you are meal prepping want to make this yummy soup ahead of time – no worries! This soup freezes and reheats perfectly!

TO FREEZE THE CAJUN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

While it is possible to freeze this soup as is, I’ve learned that it tastes much better reheated if you freeze the soup WITHOUT the noodles and cook the noodles when you’re ready to enjoy.

So for the perfect freezer Cajun Chicken Noodle Soup, simply follow the recipe as is minus the noodles. Once your soup is done cooking, place it in the fridge and allow it to cool completely.

Once cooled, add your soup to freezer safe bags or containers and freeze. 

To prepare your soup to be reheated, place the frozen soup in the fridge and let it thaw overnight. Then simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove top and add your cooked noodles. It’s important to note that you may have to add a bit of water or extra chicken broth.

Thankfully the No Yolks Extra Broad pasta cooks in only two minutes, so whenever you are ready to enjoy this soup, it’s ready in half the time.

There you have it! When you think fresh, think No Yolks!
