📝 Ingredients:

1 lb wide egg noodles
1 can cream of chicken soup

Bring the chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion; boil for 2-3 minutes.
Add noodles, stirring to prevent sticking. Return to a boil.

Remove from heat, stir in unsalted butter until melted, and add Parmesan cheese and thyme.
Cover and let sit for 20 minutes off the heat, allowing noodles to absorb the flavors and sauce to thicken.
