- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1.5 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 8 cup low‑sodium chicken broth add a splash of water if you prefer a thinner soup
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 3.5 cup shredded rotisserie chicken

- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice adds brightness
- 1.25 tsp fine sea salt to taste

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite‑size pieces and set aside.
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a lively simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add egg noodles and cook until just shy of tender, 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and bouillon, if using; simmer 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Finish with lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
Notes
Variation: Stir in 1/4 cup half‑and‑half at the end for a creamy style, or add a pinch of dried dill. Storage tip: To keep noodles from getting soggy, store soup and cooked noodles separately and combine in bowls when reheating.
