Instructions

Instructions to Make Chicken Alfredo Soup:

  • Melt 3 Tablespoons butter in a large pot.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves and sauté in the butter until tender.
  • Stir in the 6 Tablespoons flour.
  • Gradually whisk in the 6 cups chicken broth (I use 6 bouillon cubes and 6 cups of water), 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon salt, plus an additional 2 cups water and stir and heat over medium heat until thickened.
  • Add in the package of frozen broccoli and 9oz of fettuccine and cook until tender. (Note: you will have to look at suggested boiling times on both the pasta and the broccoli packages and adjust when you put them in the pot, depending on how long your specific brand is supposed to cook. The Buitoni brand of fettuccini that I used only had to cook for 2 minutes, so I added it after the broccoli had already boiled for a couple of minutes).
  • Stir in the cooked chopped chicken, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add Italian seasoning (or fresh parsley) and salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions to Make Easy Mayonnaise Biscuits:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise and milk. Stir until it forms into a soft dough ball.
  • Turn out the dough onto a flour-dusted counter. (If the dough is sticky, you can add additional flour.)
  • Roll or pat out the dough until it is about 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Cut the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the edge of a drinking glass.
  • Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.

Notes

The soup is SO yummy, creamy, and filling. Best of all, it is so super easy! I adapted this recipe to make it even easier and faster (and less expensive too). It’s a nice change-up from regular ol’ chicken noodle soup and is easily done in less than 30 minutes.
The biscuits are literally THE easiest, fastest biscuits you will ever make. They only take four ingredients, and I can have them baking in the oven in about 5 minutes (plus, they completely skip the “cutting in the butter” step, which is just about my least favorite thing to do in the kitchen).
*I am listing the prices I got these items with coupons – if you follow my grocery posts, you can see how I used coupons and rebates to get these prices. Even if you don’t use coupons or shop at the same stores I do, you should still be able to make these recipes for $10 or less, as I’ve allowed plenty of wiggle-room in the budget!
