I don’t have time to cook like a used to. Everything I do is out of convenience now. Also EVERYONE in my office is currently sick. I decided some homemade chicken soup was just what we needed!

My two favorite shortcuts are a cooked rotisserie chicken and mirepoix mix.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Rotisserie Chicken (shredded)

Mirepoix mix (chopped carrots, onion and celery)

2 garlic cloves

3 boxes of Chicken broth

2 Bay leaves

Fresh thyme. Dried is fine too

Salt, Pepper and oregano.

Pasta (we used ditalini) Next time going to use egg noodles.

Directions:

In a dutch over on medium/high heat drizzle in some olive oil. Saute carrots, onion and celery for ten minutes.

Add garlic and cook 5 more minutes.

Add bay leaves, thyme, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Let simmer 1-2 minutes.

Add chicken broth, turn to boil and let it cook for five minutes.

Add noodles and boil for ten minutes.

Turn to simmer and add chicken. I also squeezed a little bit of lemon juice.

Seeve right away!

Next time I want to attempt my own stock and a more involved recipe. This is for Dads and mamas on the go!! Enjoy!!
