Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/3rd inch rounds
  • 3 stalks celery, halved and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or substitute 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or substitute 1/2 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1/2 lemon zest and juice
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 bay leaf

Liquids and Main Ingredients

  • 8 cups chicken broth or bone broth
  • 2–3 cups dry egg noodles (flat noodles preferred but use your choice)
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded
  • 2–3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium to medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the carrots, celery, and onion to the pot. Sauté over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not browned.
  3. Add aromatics and spices: Stir in the chopped garlic, turmeric, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and cayenne if using. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Add broth and bay leaf: Pour in the chicken or bone broth, add the bay leaf and the juice of half a lemon. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add noodles and chicken: Once boiling, add 2-3 cups of egg noodles and the shredded rotisserie chicken. Return to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
  6. Simmer the soup: Let the soup simmer gently on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
  7. Finish and serve: Remove the soup from heat, taste, and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your healing bowl of chicken noodle soup!

Notes

  • Use bone broth for extra nutrients and depth of flavor.
  • You can substitute dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, but fresh herbs provide a brighter taste.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your heat preference or omit for a milder soup.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Use gluten-free noodles to make this recipe gluten-free if desired.
