Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and allow to simmer for 25 minutes or until the potatoes have softened. Taste the soup; season if needed.

Add the chicken, milk/half-and-half, and noodles. Cook for 10 minutes until the noodles are tender and the soup has thickened. Once again, taste the soup and add more seasoning as desired. Serve the soup warm.
Recipe Notes
- Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- To reheat, simply pour into a pot over medium heat and cook until warm.
- Soup thickens in the refrigerator as the noodles and potatoes soak up the liquid. Feel free to add more chicken broth to the leftovers if it’s too thick.
