Ingredients
  

For the Soup

  • 0.5 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 3-4 large carrots diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 10 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, to taste
  • 0.125 teaspoon dried rosemary or more, to taste
  • 0.125 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add butter, diced celery and carrots to a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken stock and season the broth with rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper, and salt (definitely TASTE the broth before adding more salt), and pepper. Taste and add a spoonful of “better than bullion” chicken or chicken bouillon cubes or granules as needed.
  • Bring broth to a boil. Add noodles (either uncooked homemade egg noodles, or dry store-bought pasta) and cook just until noodles are al dente.
  • If using store-bought noodles, be cautious not to overcook them! Remove pot from heat as soon as they are just barely tender. The noodles will continue to cook once you remove the pot from the heat, and you don’t want them mushy.
  • Add chicken meat from the rotisserie chicken. Taste the broth again and add more seasonings, if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken you used.

Notes

I HIGHLY recommend making this soup with homemade stock! If using store-bought broth I recommend adding Better than Bullion chicken base to it for more flavor. Using a rotisserie chicken allows you to use the meat for the soup and the bones for the broth. Allow the soup to cool completely and store it in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. Under-cook noodles if freezing.
