Butter and Pecking Order build a broth that tastes better the next day and freezes like a dream

Ingredients

For The Soup

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Cup sliced celery
  • 1 Cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 Cup chopped yellow onions
  • 3/4 Teaspoon thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon Casa M Spice Co Pecking Order
  • 1/4 Teaspoon ground oregano
  • 90 Ounces chicken broth
  • 1 ½ Cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 1 Shredded rotisserie chicken breast
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley to taste

Method

  1. 01

    Sauté the aromatics

    2 min

    Melt butter in a large pot and add celery, carrot, and onion, cooking until they start to soften. This builds the flavor foundation for your broth.

  2. 02

    Bloom the spices

    1 min

    Add thyme and Pecking Order to the vegetables and mix well, letting the spices toast slightly in the butter. This releases their oils and deepens the flavor.

  3. 03

    Build the broth

    5 min

    Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. You're creating the liquid foundation that'll taste even better tomorrow.

  4. 04

    Cook the noodles separately

    8 min

    Cook egg noodles in a separate pot according to package directions, then rinse with cold water to wash away excess starch. This keeps your broth from getting gummy and cloudy.

  5. 05

    Finish and simmer

    20 min

    Add the cooled noodles and shredded rotisserie chicken to the broth and simmer on low heat. This gentle cook lets flavors marry without breaking down the noodles.

  6. 06

    Taste and adjust

    2 min

    After 20 minutes, taste the soup and adjust with more Pecking Order and salt until you hit the flavor you want. Trust your palate — it knows what's right.

  7. 07

    Garnish and serve

    1 min

    Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over each bowl. It adds brightness and a fresh herb note that cuts through the richness.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Brown the vegetables in butter before adding broth — that's where the soup's actual flavor comes from.

02

Add noodles in the last five minutes so they don't turn to mush in the freezer later.

03

Shred the rotisserie chicken by hand instead of chopping — keeps the meat tender and pulls apart cleaner.
