Description
Hearty and flavorful Chicken Noodle Soup made with rotisserie chicken, vegetables, and egg noodles. A warm and comforting bowl that’s perfect for cold days or quick dinners.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
½ Tablespoon butter
2 ribs celery, diced
3‑4 large carrots, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
10 cups chicken stock or broth*
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¹⁄₈ teaspoon dried rosemary, or more to taste
¹⁄₈ teaspoon dried thyme
¹⁄₈ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 batch homemade egg noodles (or 4 cups dry egg noodles / farfalle / other bite‑size pasta)
3 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded or diced) *
1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor (or chicken bouillon granules), or more as needed
*Note: If using store‑bought broth, the bouillon base helps boost flavor. For stock made from chicken bones, you’ll create even deeper flavor.
Instructions
-
In a large stock pot over medium‑high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced celery and carrots and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until it’s aromatic—take care not to let it burn.
-
Pour in the chicken stock/broth. Season the broth with the rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt (start light), and pepper. Then taste the broth and add the “Better Than Bouillon” chicken flavor (or bouillon granules) as needed to build richer flavor.
-
Bring the broth to a boil. Then add the noodles (either homemade egg noodles or dry store‑bought pasta). Cook just until the noodles are al dente — if using store‑bought, remove the pot from heat as soon as they’re barely tender, since they’ll continue to soften in the hot broth.
-
Stir in the rotisserie chicken meat. Taste the soup again and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, bouillon) as needed.
-
Serve hot. Enjoy immediately or allow to rest so flavors meld a little.
Notes
Homemade stock adds extra depth. Use gluten-free pasta if needed. Undercook noodles slightly before freezing to avoid sogginess.
