Scale
Soup Base
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 leaf bay
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1 cup water
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked pasta
- 2-3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrots, onions, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they become softened and fragrant.
- Add Seasonings and Liquids: Stir in the dried thyme, dried parsley, and bay leaf. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and water. Bring the soup mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook gently for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Cook Pasta and Add Chicken: Add the uncooked pasta into the simmering soup. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Continue cooking the soup for another 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the chicken is heated through.
Notes
- You only need a rotisserie chicken and a few pantry staples to make this comforting soup for your family.
- Using low-sodium chicken broth helps control the saltiness of the soup.
- Feel free to substitute the pasta with gluten-free varieties if needed.
- For a richer flavor, you can add fresh herbs towards the end of cooking.
