  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 cup egg noodles or cooked rice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your vegetables: Chop the carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic to release its aroma and flavor when sautéed.
  2. Sauté for flavor: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute to avoid burning.
  3. Add broth and bay leaf: Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Incorporate chicken and optional ingredients: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and your choice of egg noodles or rice if using. Continue simmering until noodles or rice are cooked through, usually 8-10 minutes.
  5. Season and finish: Remove the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use homemade broth if possible for deeper flavor, or a good-quality store-bought broth works well.
  • Simmer gently after adding noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Shred chicken carefully using fingers or forks to keep light texture.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end as the broth and chicken may already be salty.
  • Add fresh herbs off the heat to preserve their flavor and color.
