Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 ribs celery diced
  • 3 large carrots diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 10 cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste

  • 4 cups dry egg noodles
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Sauté 6-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer.
  4. Add egg noodles and cook 8-10 minutes until al dente. If using raw chicken breasts, add now and cook until fully cooked before dicing.

Avoid overcooking noodles and add chicken off-heat to maintain tenderness. This recipe makes about 6 hearty servings of comforting chicken noodle soup.
