Quick Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
If you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, try this rotisserie chicken noodle soup. To me, this recipe is pretty much the definition of comfort food.
If it’s raining or cold, make this chicken noodle soup. If you can catch a cold, make this soup. You will not regret it.
As the title suggests, this recipe calls for rotisserie chicken – which makes this soup recipe put together really quickly. From start to finish, you can prepare this to eat in about 30 minutes or less.
This will make about four servings, so if you don’t need that much at once, you’ll also get an easy lunch or two that you can heat up and enjoy the next day. Acclaim!
How do I spice up a bland chicken noodle soup?
Here’s how I seasoned this recipe. I wanted to keep this super simple and I just added salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and turmeric to seasoned (store-bought) braised chicken. However, you can also add a chicken block or two if you want more.
This recipe also uses onion and garlic at the beginning, and then some chopped parsley before serving, for extra flavor.
I like to use both carrots and celery in this recipe, but you can omit or substitute with other options like potatoes. My aim with this chicken noodle soup is to keep it similar to my childhood favorite (Campbell’s), but bring out more flavor and texture, while keeping it simple and familiar. .
Should I boil the noodles before adding them to the soup?
Is not. For this recipe, you add uncooked noodles and they cook in the broth and water while you shred the rotisserie chicken.
You can see the noodles I used in the photo above. Sometimes, I use egg noodles to replace. You can also do homemade soup noodles for an even more homemade experience.
Homemade soup is one of my favorite meals, and I hope you enjoy this quick rotisserie chicken noodle soup as much as my family.
