A quick and comforting creamy chicken noodle soup made with rotisserie chicken, ready in about 25 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or sick days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken (about 3–4 cups shredded)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Shred the rotisserie chicken while still warm using two forks. Discard skin and bones. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  3. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and carrots begin to soften.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir continuously for 2 minutes to make a roux.
  6. Gradually pour in chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Scrape bottom of pot to release browned bits.
  7. Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Add egg noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions (about 6-8 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  9. Stir in shredded chicken and half-and-half. Warm through for 2-3 minutes. Do not let boil after adding cream.
  10. Remove bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, cook noodles separately and add to individual bowls to prevent them from absorbing all the broth. Do not let soup boil after adding cream to avoid curdling. Season in layers for best flavor.
