Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1.5 cups)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat shredded (about 3–4 cups)
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients first. Dice the onion, slice the carrots and celery, mince the garlic, and shred the rotisserie chicken while it is still slightly warm.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the carrots have started to soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions (about 8 to 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  6. When the noodles are tender, add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir and let warm through for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Let the soup sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, cook noodles separately if making ahead to prevent them from absorbing too much broth. If soup tastes flat, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar. Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
