Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Rotisserie chicken ~2 lbs, bones included
  • 12 cups Chicken broth
  • 3-4 stalks Celery sliced
  • 3-4 medium Carrots sliced, double for extra
  • 1 medium Yellow onion diced
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • Dried parsley
  • ½ tsp Dried oregano
  • 1-2 whole Bay leaves remove before serving
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch whisked with 2 cups broth
  • 2-3 cups Rotini or wide egg noodles dry, uncooked
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil stovetop only

Instructions
 

  • Stovetop:
    1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook 3–5 minutes until onion is translucent.
    2. Add shredded chicken, bones, bay leaves, seasonings, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
    3. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 30 minutes until carrots are tender.
    4. Remove all bones and bay leaves.
    5. Add dry pasta and cook 10 minutes (egg noodles) or 15 minutes (regular pasta) until al dente.
    6. Remove 2 cups of broth, whisk in cornstarch until smooth, and stir back into the pot.
    7. Simmer 2–3 more minutes. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.
    Slow Cooker:
    1. Add all ingredients except pasta and cornstarch to the slow cooker.
    2. Cook on LOW 6–8 hours or HIGH 4–6 hours until carrots are tender.
    3. Remove all bones and bay leaves.
    4. Stir in dry pasta and cook 20 minutes until al dente.
    5. Remove 2 cups broth, whisk in cornstarch, stir back in. Serve.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the pasta — add it only when ready to serve to prevent mushiness.
  • Always check for stray bones before serving, especially for children.
  • Keep extra broth on hand to thin the soup if it thickens too much.
  • To freeze, leave the pasta out. Add freshly cooked noodles when reheating.
  • The soup keeps in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4–5 days.
