This Quick Cozy Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup delivers soul-warming comfort in just 20 minutes using a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Perfect for busy weeknights, it tastes like you spent all day making it.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rotisserie chicken (about 2–3 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 ½ cups wide egg noodles
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Shred the chicken and save the bones. Pull the meat off the rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin. Set aside 2 cups for the soup; reserve the rest for another use. Don’t throw away the bones.
  2. Melt the butter in your Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the chicken bones, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the bones and bay leaf using tongs or a slotted spoon.
  6. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Stir in the shredded chicken and let it warm through for 1-2 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t skip simmering the bones for 10 minutes—it transforms the broth. For leftovers, cook noodles separately to prevent them from getting mushy. Season in layers for best flavor.
