Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken shredded (about 3-4 cups)
  • 8 cups chicken broth low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot
  • Cutting Board & Knife
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Tongs or Forks
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld and the vegetables cook through.
  4. Add the Shredded Chicken and Noodles: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and egg noodles. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your taste.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

Notes

The rotisserie chicken adds a deep, rich flavor that makes the soup extra delicious without having to cook the chicken yourself. If you're in a rush, use store-bought broth, but homemade broth will give you a richer taste. Always remember to remove the bay leaves before serving!
