  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6-8

Ingredients

1 rotisserie chicken (fully cooked, approx. 2 1/2 pounds), still on bone

12 cups chicken broth

4 celery stalks, chopped

45 carrots, sliced

1 onion, diced

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp parsley (dried)

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp thyme

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp cracked pepper

2 cups dry pasta

1/4 cup cornstarch (can use arrowroot powder)

1 tbsp olive oil (for stovetop)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Remove the rotisserie chicken from the bones and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and sliced carrots. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  2. Add the Broth and Herbs: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the garlic powder, parsley, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and cracked pepper. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.

  3. Simmer the Soup: Once the soup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  4. Cook the Pasta: Add the dry pasta to the soup and cook according to the package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes), until the pasta is tender.

  5. Thicken the Soup: While the soup is simmering, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to create a slurry. Gradually add the cornstarch slurry into the soup, stirring constantly, to thicken the broth. Continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup reaches your desired thickness.

  6. Add the Chicken: Stir the shredded rotisserie chicken into the soup and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is heated through.

  7. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

Vegetarian Version: Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add extra vegetables or tofu for a vegetarian-friendly version.

Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the soup for a spicy kick.

Low-Carb Version: Skip the pasta and use cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb alternative.

Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables such as peas, corn, or potatoes for a heartier soup.
