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.
