Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 celery stalks thinly sliced
  • 4 carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 whole chicken cooked and shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup small noodles

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 6–7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Season and add broth: Pour in the chicken broth. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, and turmeric. Stir well.
  4. Simmer the base: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes so the flavors come together.
  5. Add the chicken: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and let it warm through.
  6. Cook the noodles: Add the noodles directly into the pot and simmer until tender, about 6–10 minutes depending on the shape. Add more broth if needed.
  7. Season to taste: Finish with salt and pepper until it tastes just right.

Notes

  • Save the chicken carcass after cooking your chicken so you can make homemade chicken broth for next time.
  • Freeze the soup base without noodles for the best texture.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon or fresh parsley before serving for extra brightness.
