Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots, cooking until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the dried thyme or Italian seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, cook the noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
Just before serving, add the cooked noodles to the soup. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure it distributes evenly in the soup.
• Sauté the onions and carrots before adding the broth to bring out their natural sweetness.
• Cook the noodles separately and add it to the soup just before serving to prevent it from becoming too soft.
• Season the soup well with salt, pepper, and herbs to enhance the flavors of the chicken and vegetables.
• Let the soup simmer for a good 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
