Sauté the Vegetables:In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced celery and carrots, and sauté for about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Season the Broth:Pour in the chicken stock, then season with rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Taste the broth and add a spoonful of Better Than Bouillon (or bouillon granules) as needed for extra flavor.
Cook the Noodles:Bring the broth to a gentle boil. Add the noodles (either homemade or dry store-bought pasta).If using homemade egg noodles, cook until they are just tender.If using store-bought noodles, cook until al dente, being careful not to overcook, as they will continue to soften in the hot broth.
Add the Chicken:Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve and Store:Enjoy immediately! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken used.
