Transform a store-bought rotisserie chicken into a comforting, hearty soup in under 30 minutes. This recipe uses every last bit of the bird — the shredded meat goes into the soup while the carcass makes a quick stock. Loaded with vegetables, egg noodles, and fresh herbs, this is the ultimate Canadian comfort food on a cold night.

👨‍🍳Chef's Notes

Add Acid at the End

“A squeeze of lemon juice or splash of vinegar added right before serving brightens the entire bowl. It doesn't make it sour — it makes everything else taste more like itself.”

Season Generously

“Most home cooks under-season their chicken. I use about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of chicken, applied at least 30 minutes before cooking for the deepest flavour penetration.”

Mise en Place Saves Time

“Even for quick recipes, spend 3 minutes measuring and prepping everything before you turn on the heat. It sounds counterintuitive, but it actually speeds up cooking because you're never scrambling mid-recipe.”
