Ingredients
  

  • ½ tablespoon butter for sautéing vegetables
  • 2 ribs celery diced (adds flavor and texture)
  • 3-4 large carrots diced (adds sweetness and color)
  • 1 clove garlic minced (for flavor)
  • 10 cups chicken stock or broth, homemade preferred for depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary for seasoning, adjust to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme for seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice
  • 1 batch homemade egg noodles or 4 cups dry egg noodles, farfalle or other bite-size pasta
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded (for protein and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor or chicken bouillon granules, for added flavor depth

  1. Add butter, diced celery, and carrots to a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Sauté for 3 minutes.

  3. Pour in the chicken stock and season the broth with rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Bring broth to a boil. Once boiling, add noodles (either uncooked homemade egg noodles or dry store-bought pasta) and cook until al dente. Do not overcook if using store-bought noodles! Remove the pot from heat once noodles are barely tender.
