Instructions

Bring the chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until dissolved.
Add the egg noodles, stir, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring until butter is melted and mixture is creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to adjust consistency.
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a heartier meal, add cooked chicken or vegetables to the noodles.
This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated, adding a bit of broth to restore creaminess.
Feel free to adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
