Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 cups celery, chopped
2 cups carrots, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped

Protein

1 rotisserie chicken (whole, prepared)

Liquids & Broth

3 tbsp olive oil
96 oz chicken broth

Seasonings & Thickener

2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water

Pasta

12 oz wide egg noodles (1 package, uncooked)

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium to medium-high heat until bubbly and fragrant. Add chopped celery, carrots, onion, and poultry seasoning. Sauté for 5-10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Add Chicken and Broth: Remove any string or bands from the rotisserie chicken. Place the entire chicken on top of the sautéed vegetables. Pour chicken broth over the chicken. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes to develop flavor.
Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: While soup simmers, mix cornstarch and water until smooth and fully dissolved. This will be used to thicken the broth later.
Thicken Broth and Cook Noodles: After 30 minutes, carefully remove the chicken from the pot. Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once combined, add the wide egg noodles and cook for 6-8 minutes until just tender.
Shred Chicken Meat: As the noodles cook, remove the meat from the chicken bones—discard skin and bones—and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces. When noodles are tender, add shredded chicken back into the soup and stir well.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the soup with fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot for a wholesome, comforting meal.
