  • Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add more oil if needed. Stir in the fresh garlic, better than bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and turmeric powder. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, let it cook for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes are up, add the noodles and chicken. Cook for 6 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. Season generously with salt and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you can't find better than bouillon chicken paste, use 8 cups of chicken stock or chicken broth instead. 
  • Only use water, if you add 2 tablespoons of better than bouillon. If you don't add better than bouillon, use chicken stock or chicken broth! 
  • To save yourself some time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken breast. Make sure to remove the skin and cube up the chicken using a sharp knife.
