This soup is a perfect meal for any night of the week because it is quick, easy, and flavorful. You can also whip it up when you’re feeling under the weather and you’ll be eating tons of nutrients to help you heal faster.

This delicious soup is gluten-free because it uses Banza pasta, which is made from chickpeas. You’ll need to give the pasta a try in this soup because you wouldn’t know the difference compared to regular pasta! Of course, you can sub regular pasta if you don’t eat gluten-free, and it’ll turn out just the same.

Is homemaking soup difficult?

Definitely not! It comes together in less than 30 minutes if using pre-made broth. Just be sure to buy a flavorful one! All you have to do for homemade soup is sauté some veggies, then add broth and seasonings and bring it to a boil, then add the pasta and cook until al dente, then add the rotisserie chicken pieces and voila! You’ve got a delicious soup.

How can I make my homemade soup more flavorful?

Some soups may turn out a little bland depending on the broth you use. I recommend using a high-quality, flavorful, dark broth. Using a bone broth should be an easy way to make sure it’s flavorful, too. Also be sure to taste test at the end of making the soup and add more seasonings as desired, especially salt if you opted for a low-sodium broth (I recommend using a regular one, not low-sodium). Another even better way to make sure your soup turns out perfectly flavorful: Homemake your own broth! It’s a super easy prep and you just let it simmer in a pot for a day, not even having to pay attention to it. Then you have a cost-effective, delicious, homemade broth.

How would I homemake broth?

Take the bones of the rotisserie chicken and put it in a large 12 quart soup pot. Fill the pot with water. Add plenty of salt (a couple teaspoons should be good), a touch of herbs (such as 1/2 tsp oregano), and diced carrots and celery. Turn the heat up to bring it to a boil. Once boiling, turn it to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it lightly simmer for 12-36 hours. The longer it cooks, the more flavorful it becomes. Once done, strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a storage container. Scoop off fat from the top if desired (it’ll float like oil). Store it in the freezer or refrigerator. I bought these silicone molds that are perfect for freezing broth because it has 8 molds that are 1 cup each, so it’s easy to grab as many cups of broth as you need from the freezer whenever you need it.

Now let’s get into the Chicken Noodle Soup recipe!

Ingredients

Broth – A necessity, of course!

Chicken – I used cooked rotisserie chicken.

Pasta noodles – I used Banza pasta which is made from chickpeas and gluten-free. Feel free to sub with any pasta of choice.

Olive oil – for sautéing the veggies in.

Onion, carrots, celery – The veggies.

Garlic cloves – For flavor, plus they’re super nutrient dense and great for boosting the immune system!

Spring onions – For extra flavor and color.

Spices – I used Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Feel free to sub any dried herb for the Italian seasoning.

Method

Start out by dicing up the veggies.
In a large pot, add the olive oil and turn the heat to med-high. Once heated, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, sliced green onion, and minced garlic cloves. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the broth and the seasonings.
Turn the heat to high to bring the broth to a boil. Once the broth is boiling, add the pasta and stir to combine everything. Cook the pasta until al dente, but not fully cooked (it will keep cooking). Banza pasta will only take a few minutes.
Once the noodles are al dente, remove from heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir to combine. Taste test it and add seasonings to adjust to your liking. You may need to add more salt depending on your broth. I used homemade broth which was already salty so I didn’t need to add any.
Serve as desired and enjoy!

Modifications

Sub the veggies for any others you desire such as peas, diced squash or sweet potato, etc.
Sub the onion for shallots, leeks, or onion of choice.
Sub the Italian seasoning for any dried herb you have on hand such as oregano, thyme, basil, etc.
Use noodles of choice – Although I used Banza pasta, you can use any pasta you prefer.
Sub the chicken for turkey or other meat of choice.
