This is a super easy homemade chicken noodle soup recipe… but let me clarify.

By “super easy” I mean “not as easy as opening a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup but easier than using a recipe that requires from-scratch chicken stock and the cooking and shredding of chicken breasts.”

Basically this homemade chicken noodle soup is one of the easiest homemade chicken noodle soup recipes you can make. This chicken noodle soup recipe is full of yummy roast chicken flavor, chunks of tender carrots and celery, and al dente pasta noodles (whole wheat if you love whole wheat pasta as much as I do).

Feel free to tweak the amount of garlic and thyme according to taste. I think next time I make it, I will throw in a bit more salt and pepper.

I find this soup—and pretty much all soups—taste even better when served with a side of rolls like my famous dinner rolls. But you could also serve our favorite light and fluffy one-hour dinner rolls or my daughter’s popular peasant bread.

You’re gonna have to trust me on this one.

    There really is nothing better than a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup. And you made me laugh with your opening paragraph! haha Using leftover rotisserie chicken is brilliant.

      We use leftover rotisserie chicken a lot. In fact, I always buy one from Costco. I shred it as soon as I get home and put the shredded chicken in the freezer. :)
