Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- 3 ribs celery (diced)
- 3 large carrots (diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
- 4 cups dry egg noodles
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken meat (or chicken breasts)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced celery, carrots, onions, and minced garlic and sauté for 6-7 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a gentle bubble.
