Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped)
  • 2 cups egg noodles (or any pasta of choice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables:
    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Broth and Seasonings:
    Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme and parsley. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  3. Cook the Noodles:
    Stir in the egg noodles and let them cook in the simmering broth according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add the Chicken:
    Once the noodles are tender, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot. Allow the chicken to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season and Serve:
    Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, optionally with a wedge of lemon for a bright, zesty finish.

Tips:

  • For added depth of flavor, toss in a bay leaf while the soup simmers (remove before serving).
  • Substitute whole-grain pasta or gluten-free noodles for a healthier or allergen-friendly option.
  • To store leftovers, keep the noodles separate from the broth to avoid them becoming soggy.

Warm, satisfying, and brimming with flavor, this Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup is the ultimate comfort food made easy!
