Notes
- Chicken: You don't need to use every bit of meat from the rotisserie chicken. Save any leftover meat for another recipe.
- Noodles: Dry egg noodles work best, but you can substitute another noodle. Adjust the cooking time according to the package directions.
- Leftovers: The noodles will continue to absorb broth as the soup sits. Add a little extra chicken broth when reheating if needed.
- Freezing: For the best texture, freeze the soup without the noodles and add freshly cooked noodles when serving.
