Short Cut
I’ve made the soup like my mom over the years many times, but typically, I don’t have the time or desire to do the whole chicken thing. Honestly, the next best thing is making the soup this way.
1. Buy your favorite rotisserie chicken. (my favorite is Costco’s. Theirs just taste the best to me)
2. In your soup broth place ALL (light and dark meat) AND the juices that are at the bottom of the plastic container. (all those delicious juices and spices) I honestly feel this makes a big difference.
This beautiful dutch oven is by Fiesta. I love a nice study pot for hearty soups and stove top to oven meals.
3. Use homemade noodles found in the freezer section (try by the frozen breads) of your grocery store.
Or you can make these Homemade Dumplings and I strongly urge you to make these Homemade Breadsticks to go with it.
Pair with homemade dumplings or breadsticks and you've got yourself some warm happy bellies!

Sounds pretty tasty. Never thought of using the juice left in the container. The noodles look like Reems also in the freezer section. I also put in tarragon a little dijon mustard and cream (optional) when I make homemade soup. I usually make Bisquick dumplings with a little tarragon and parsley. My mother in law used to make a dumpling like a loaf of bread, I think she put an egg in it. She would slice it and it came out light and fluffy. Just a thought.
This is my favorite recipe from Oh So. We make it often and everyone in the family loves it!
oh man this is gonna be great for when it’s freezing haha!
