This is truly how lazy I am.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know Iโ€™ve been making chicken soup using store-bought chicken a lot recently.

Iโ€™m all about making food from scratch, but hereโ€™s the thing: store-bought rotisserie chicken is just SO GOOD!

Plus, it makes the soup making process so quick and easy, and youโ€™re guaranteed to end up with an amazing result.

Rotisserie Chicken Soup with Vegetables - only a handful of ingredients are needed for this quick, easy, healthy dinner recipe

 

I love that rotisserie chicken is super moist and flavorful, resulting in amazingly comforting soup with the most tender, delicious meat.

My trick to preparing soup relatively quickly is sautรฉing the veggies first. I simply cook the vegetables until they have softened but are still al dente before adding the broth, seasoning, and/or animal protein. 

In this case, since the chicken is already cooked and has tons of flavor, the soup is done once it has reached a full boil and the vegetables have reached your desired done-ness! 

For me, the whole process takes roughly 30 minutes.

I often eat my chicken soup with rice. If you’d like to cook rice into your soup, add 1/3 cup of brown or white rice and allow the soup to cook long enough to cook the rice – about 30 minutes.

I typically already have steamed rice on hand, so I simply add the amount I want to my bowl along with the soup ๐Ÿ˜‰

How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Soup:

Pour the avocado oil into a large pot or Dutch oven and heat to medium-high.

Add the carrots, cover the pot, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining vegetables, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until all of the vegetables have softened, but are still al dente.

While the vegetables are cooking, remove all of the meat from the rotisserie chicken.

Transfer the remaining ingredients (broth, rotisserie chicken, Italian seasoning, and sea salt) to the pot. Cover, and bring soup to a full boil. Cook for 5 or so minutes, or until the vegetables have reached your preferred level of doneness.

Note: I like to add the chicken bones to the pot too for the cooking process ๐Ÿ™‚

Serve in big bowls, and enjoy!

Questions and Reviews

  1. Please read (or ask for) the ingredients of the rotisserie chicken before you purchase. Some big stores add some pretty nasty stuff to what should be as simple roasted chicken.

    1. That’s good feedback. I think people will select what they think is right for them. I buy organic rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods, and have found Costco makes a fabulous one as well. I’m assuming my audience is smart enough to make wise decisions when it comes to sourcing food ๐Ÿ˜€ xoxoxo
