Ingredient Tips for Rotisserie Chicken Soup

Chicken: Pick up a store-bought rotisserie chicken from the market or make one and season it any way you like. Be sure to remove the skin before shredding.
Pasta: Hearty pasta like rotini, penne, or cavatappi works best in rotisserie chicken soup. Egg noodles, white beans, or instant rice are other good starches to try.
Veggies: Onions, celery, and carrots make up a flavorful trio called a ‘mirepoix’, the foundation for many recipes. Add extras like a bag of mixed vegetables, peas, spinach, zucchini, peppers, or any leftovers from the fridge.
Broth: Use any broth brand you like or make a homemade one.
Variations: Make crunchy tortilla toppings by cutting 6 small corn tortillas into ¼” strips and frying them in oil until they’re crispy. Croutons are another crunchy topping for rotisserie chicken soup.

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook until they begin to soften, 3-4 minutes.
Add the flour, garlic powder, sage, and thyme and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the broth and water and turn the heat up to medium-high. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the pasta* and reduce the heat to a low boil. Cook until the pasta is tender (this can vary by brand), approximately 7 to 9 minutes.
Stir in the chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

For Planned Leftovers: If you are planning for leftovers, reduce the water to 1 cup in the soup and cook the pasta on the side. Store the pasta and the soup separately and add the pasta to each bowl when serving.
Storage Tip: I strain the broth and store it in a separate container to keep the noodles from getting soggy.
Keep leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and in the freezer for 4 months.
