Method
 

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the dried thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour in the Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot. Stir to mix everything together, then bring it to a simmer.
  4. Add the Shredded Chicken: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.
  5. Cook the Pasta: If you’re using pasta, add it to the soup and cook according to package directions (usually around 8-10 minutes). If you’re not using pasta, you can skip this step.
  6. Final Adjustments: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt or pepper if desired.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

When making rotisserie chicken soup, feel free to get creative. You can easily add more vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrition. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or milk just before serving. For a gluten-free version, simply skip the pasta or use gluten-free noodles. The beauty of this soup is in its flexibility—mix and match the ingredients based on what you have available!
