Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp. brown butter (1/2 stick)
  • 3 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. chicken broth base or chicken bouillon, optional
  • 12 oz. Amish noodles
  • Extra brown butter for drizzling over the cooked noodles and parsley flakes or fresh parsley to sprinkle over the top, optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the butter into a large saucepan and cook it until browned (caramel-colored). It will have a few dark flecks and a wonderful nutty aroma.
    4 Tbsp. brown butter (1/2 stick)
  • Add the chicken broth, cream of chicken, pepper, and bouillon. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil.
    3 1/2 c. chicken broth, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1/2 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. chicken broth base or chicken bouillon, optional
  • Add the noodles. Stir and bring it back to a rolling boil.
    12 oz. Amish noodles
  • Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for 25 - 30 minutes. Stir at least once or twice.
  • Stir the noodles, drizzle brown butter over the top, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
    Extra brown butter for drizzling over the cooked noodles and parsley flakes or fresh parsley to sprinkle over the top, optional
  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave or on low temperature in the oven.

Notes

If you don't want to use cream of chicken soup, you can substitute it with an additional 1 cup of broth. The noodles won't be quite as creamy, but they'll still be delicious.
These Amish-style noodles are delicious with lots of brown butter. Cooking them in the brown butter gives them a depth of flavor, but feel free to stir in more brown butter after the noodles are finished cooking.
Reames frozen noodles are also delicious noodles, but they don't work well with this recipe. Since they are frozen and not dried, they won't soak up much of the broth.
