Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • ½ tbsp butter
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 3-4 large carrots, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 10 cups chicken stock or broth (homemade recommended)
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • tsp dried rosemary (or more, to taste)
  • tsp dried thyme
  • tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 batch homemade egg noodles (or 4 cups dry egg noodles, farfalle, or other bite-size pasta)
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor (or chicken bouillon granules, as needed)

Instructions

  • 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.
