My Take On Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup

There's just something so satisfying about a big bowl of homemade soup, and this easy rotisserie chicken noodle soup recipe might just be the best soup I've ever made!

This rotisserie chicken recipe combines all the flavors of traditional chicken noodle soup but with a little twist. Instead of boiling the chicken in the broth, it's made with store bought rotisserie chicken that's shredded and simmered until it's even juicier and more tender.

The finished warm, comforting soup has cooked chicken, tender veggies, and egg noodles, all in a flavorful seasoned homemade chicken stock. It'll make your house smell amazing and tastes even better than you could imagine.

This rotisserie chicken noodle soup recipe is my favorite meal for chilly days, when I'm feeling run down, or just want to make a comforting meal for dinner. Since it's so easy to whip up, it's a really convenient recipe for any time! 

This shredded chicken soup is great all on its own, but I think it's even better served with some saltine crackers or these Cracker Barrel biscuits to dip in the soup.

Why This Recipe Works

It's so easy to make. All you have to do is cook the veggies, then add the rest of the ingredients and let the soup simmer until you're ready to serve. It doesn't get easier than that!

Easy to customize. This rotisserie chicken soup offers plenty of room for customization. You can add extra veggies, use different spices, or swap the noodles for rice or potatoes. The options are endless!

How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup with Rotisserie Chicken

1. Cook the veggies: Heat a large pot and add the olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, and celery to it. Cook the veggies for 5 minutes or until they become tender. Then, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Combine the ingredients: To the pot, add the chicken broth, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, and cooked rotisserie chicken. Stir everything together to combine.

3. Cook the soup: Increase the heat to high and bring the soup mixture to a boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook it for 15 minutes. Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.

4. Finish and serve: Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Give it a taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed. To finish it off, stir in the parsley and ladle the soup into serving bowls, and serve hot. Enjoy!

My Tips For Making The Best Recipe

• Swap egg noodles for other types of noodles like ramen noodles, white rice, or even diced potatoes.
• Cut the veggies the day before to speed up the recipe. I always do this to save time.
• Swap chicken broth for condensed cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup for a creamier broth.
• Use Italian seasoning if you don't have all of the herbs listed. I've made it both ways, and it's delicious with the seasoning mix or Italian seasoning.
• Serve the soup with grated parmesan cheese on top for more flavor.

How To Store Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup

In the fridge: Store the leftover soup in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. The amount of time you can store the soup will depend on when you bought the rotisserie chicken.
