"I totally admit ... this is NOT a healthy dish - sorry guys. But, kids love it, adults love it; and, it is just rich, thick, and creamy comfort food. Perfect winter food for football Sunday or any other sports. And, it cooks in no time. This makes huge pot of soup; so, I usually cut the recipe in half. Note: If you make the full pot; the noodles are already cooked, and will soak up the liquid/broth if it sits in the refrigerator. So, I suggest, that you only make what you plan to eat. Serve with some cheese and crackers on the side for a perfect lunch; or, with a salad for a light dinner."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Onions ... Add the olive oil to a large soup pot; and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and saute the onions, for 3-5 minutes, stirring often. Do NOT let the garlic burn. Then, add the broth and bring up to a light boil.

Step 2

Noodles ... Add the noodles, and cook according to package directions, about 4-5 minutes shy of being done (about 7-9 minutes)

Step 3

Soup Base ... To the broth and noodles; add the soup, chicken, seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper - and mix to combine. Bring back up to medium heat, just under a boil; and cook another 4 minutes. You want everything heated through; and, the noodles tender, but NOT mushy - they will continue to cook in the broth and soak up juice; so, don't over cook them.

Step 4

Finish ... Remove from the heat, add the spinach, sour cream, parsley; and, stir until everything is combined. Season again, only if needed with salt and pepper. Stir, cover, and let it set a couple of minutes until the spinach is wilted. You want the spinach to have a little texture. The heat of the soup will easily wilt the spinach.

Step 5

Serve and ENJOY! ... Crusty bread and a side salad is all that is needed. It really is an under 30 minute soup. It isn't too healthy; but, it sure is good comfort food; and really easy to make.
