📝 Ingredients:
1 lb wide egg noodles
1 can cream of chicken soup

1 stick unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added umami and creaminess)
🍲 Preparation Steps:
Bring the chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion; boil for 2-3 minutes.
Add noodles, stirring to prevent sticking. Return to a boil.
Stir in cream of chicken soup, and heavy cream if using, until well combined. Return to a boil, then cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in unsalted butter until melted, and add Parmesan cheese and thyme.
Cover and let sit for 20 minutes off the heat, allowing noodles to absorb the flavors and sauce to thicken.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
