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

Method
-
01
Sauté the aromatics
2 minMelt 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.
-
02
Bloom the spices
1 minAdd 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.
-
03
Build the broth
5 minPour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. You're creating the liquid foundation that'll taste even better tomorrow.
-
04
Cook the noodles separately
8 minCook 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.
-
05
Finish and simmer
20 minAdd 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.
-
06
Taste and adjust
2 minAfter 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.
-
07
Garnish and serve
1 minSprinkle fresh chopped parsley over each bowl. It adds brightness and a fresh herb note that cuts through the richness.
From Mike's Notebook
Brown the vegetables in butter before adding broth — that's where the soup's actual flavor comes from.
Add noodles in the last five minutes so they don't turn to mush in the freezer later.
Shred the rotisserie chicken by hand instead of chopping — keeps the meat tender and pulls apart cleaner.
