This quick and easy chicken noodle soup uses a rotisserie chicken for deep, roasted flavor in just 30 minutes. It’s the perfect comfort food for busy weeknights or sick days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (2-3 lb) Rotisserie Chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 stalks Celery, sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 8 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Shred the chicken: Remove all meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Do not throw away the bones.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes until softened and the onion is translucent.
  3. Add garlic and herbs: Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir constantly for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Build the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Add all the bones from the rotisserie chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove bones and cook noodles: Use tongs to remove the large chicken bones from the pot. Bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Add the wide egg noodles and cook according to package directions (about 8-10 minutes) until tender but al dente.
  6. Add chicken and finish: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the shredded chicken and let heat through for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve and garnish: Remove the bay leaf and discard. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, cook noodles separately and add to individual bowls to prevent them from becoming mushy. The bone simmer is key for deep flavor. Taste before adding salt as the chicken and broth are already salty.
