Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion chopped
1 cup celery chopped
1 cup carrots sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 lb rotisserie chicken (about 3 cups) cooked and cubed
8 cups chicken broth low sodium
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2½ cups egg noodles uncooked
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until the onion is soft and almost translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook one minute longer.
Stir in the chicken, chicken broth, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves.
Bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes, stirring in the noodles halfway through.

Notes

Can this be made in a slow cooker?

Yes. Add the ingredients into a slow cooker, without the noodles. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Add the noodles 30 minutes before serving.

Can you make homemade chicken noodle soup in advance?

This soup can be made up to 4 days in advance. I do suggest cooking the noodles to al dente (slightly underdone) to help keep them from becoming soggy when reheating. Keep stored in an airtight container inside of the refrigerator.
