Method
 

Sauté the Vegetables
  1. Add butter to a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Sauté diced celery and carrots for 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Season and Prepare the Broth
  1. Pour in chicken stock and season with rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Enhance it with a spoonful of “better than bouillon” chicken flavor or bouillon granules, as needed.
Cook the Noodles
  1. Bring the broth to a boil. Add uncooked homemade egg noodles or dry store-bought pasta. Cook until the noodles are just al dente.
Add the Chicken
  1. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Adjust seasonings if needed after tasting the broth.
Finish and Store
  1. Once the noodles are tender, remove the pot from heat. Allow the soup to cool slightly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
