03 - 2 tbsp butter or ghee
04 - 1 tsp salt

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
02 - Stir in butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
03 - Mix in shredded chicken, ground beef, or optional bacon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
04 - Stir in cream of chicken soup, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes until creamy and well blended.
05 - Stir in peas, carrots, or mushrooms and cook until tender.
06 - Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy. Pair with steamed vegetables or a green salad if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of sour cream.
02 - Avoid overcooking noodles as they will continue to absorb liquid while simmering.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
