    I love cooking soup because it’s healthy, feeds a crowd, and can add whatever ingredients you have on hand. For more of my favorite soup recipes, check out this chicken ditalini soup, vegetable soup, and spicy chicken noodle soup.

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    SEE THE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR INGREDIENT QUANTITIES AND INSTRUCTIONS.

    • Chicken – I used store-bought rotisserie chicken but feel free to use raw chicken breasts. Simply add the chicken to the broth, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes.
    • Bone Broth – I highly recommend using bone broth because it’s so good for you and contains a good amount of protein.
    • Noodles – I used shells made from chickpeas but feel free to use any type of high protein noodles.
    • Celery – Optional.
    • Beans – Use your favorite if you’re not a fan of cannellini beans!
    • Eggs – Optional but 1 egg contains 6 grams of protein so I recommend adding them.

    TOP TIPS

    • Add 1-2 teaspoons of Calabrian chilies or red pepper flakes for some heat.
    • I used 4 cups of bone broth and 4 cups of water but feel free to use just bone broth or just water. If using water, add 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder.
    • Include as many veggies as you like!
    • Season with salt right before serving.

    HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THIS SOUP FEED?

    This soup has a serving size of 4-6 people.

    CAN I ADD SPICES?

    The rotisserie chicken and bone broth I used were both super flavorful so I didn’t feel like the soup needed any spices but yes! Feel free to add some garlic powder, onion powder, and the spices of your choice!

    STORAGE

    If you have any leftovers, allow them to cool completely then transfer them to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stovetop until warm. Add more water if needed.

    This high protein chicken noodle soup is loaded with shells, chicken, beans, and eggs! It's delicious, requires minimal ingredients, and cooks in under 30 minutes!

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups cooked chicken breasts diced
    • 1 large onion diced
    • 3 garlic cloves finely minced
    • 3 celery stalks finely sliced
    • 1 15 ounce can cannelini beans drained and rinsed
    • 3 eggs
    • 4 cups chicken bone broth
    • 4 cups water
    • 1 cup protein noodles
    • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • salt to taste

    Instructions

    • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
    • Add the onions and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently.
    • Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 20 seconds.
    • Add the cannellini beans, chicken, water, and bone broth. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil.
    • Once it comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the packaging instructions. Two minutes before the pasta is done, crack the eggs into the soup, being sure to pour them into different locations to prevent sticking. Cover the soup and let it cook for 2 more minutes.
    • Once the 2 minutes are up, uncover, season with salt, and serve immediately!

    Notes

    • Add 1-2 teaspoons of Calabrian chilies or red pepper flakes for some heat.
    • I used 4 cups of bone broth and 4 cups of water but feel free to use just bone broth or just water. If using water, add 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder.
    • Include as many veggies as you like!
    • Season with salt right before serving.
