Ingredients
For the Soup
- ½ 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
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary or more, to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
- ⅛ 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. Taste and add a spoonful of better than bouillon chicken as needed.
- Bring broth to a boil. Add noodles and cook just until noodles are al dente.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
Using a rotisserie chicken is recommended to use the meat for the soup and the bones for homemade stock. Gluten-free adaptations are available using gluten-free egg noodles. This soup is best made ahead of time to prevent noodles from getting soggy.
