Easy to Make! Creamy Veggies and Noodles

This vegetarian dish is made with creamy egg noodles and plenty of veggies for a rich and delicious comfort food. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight meal!

I wasn’t exactly sure what to call this recipe. It’s sort of like the inside of a pot pie but with egg noodles as the base rather than a pastry crust. It’s also a bit like a creamy vegetable chowder. Or maybe it’s a chicken-less chicken and noodles style dish? I really don’t know what to call it but what I do know is that this recipe is delicious.

These creamy veggies and noodles are a delicious comfort food. I love how the winter season is an excuse to make endless batches of soups and stews like this one. The egg noodles are coated in a rich and creamy sauce but the veggies help balance it out. It’s a great way to use up some of those canned vegetables that have been sitting in your pantry for months.

TIPS FOR PERFECTLY CREAMY VEGGIES AND NOODLES

Try to dice your onion, celery, and carrots into even-sized pieces so they soften at the same time.

When adding the milk, be sure to keep the heat low. If you turn up the heat too high, it will start to boil and cause the milk to curdle. (This doesn’t mean you have to throw it out, it just won’t be as smooth.)

I like to use a low sodium broth so I can control the saltiness. I recommend using a “chicken-style broth” for this but you can use your favorite broth. This kind from Edward and Sons is my absolutely favorite.

I like cooking this in a dutch oven (I have this Lodge dutch oven and I love it!) but you can also use any large pot that has a lid.

INGREDIENTS
