This soup is absolutely delicious!
Quick, simple, hearty and completely scrumptious!
I made it last week on a total whim and we devoured every. last. drop. which meant I was left with an empty pot and no picture. So I had not choice but to make it again. When my boys asked what was for dinner the other night I told them “that soup I made the other night.” Their responses went something like this: You mean that one that I chowed on and Oh yes, I loved that soup!
I was much smarter the second time around and doubled the recipe, which I highly recommend. This soup is just crazy good, I promise you.
I love using rotisserie chickens in soups because first off the chicken is so tender and second it’s so fast and convenient. It worked so well in this soup. You basically throw everything in a big pot and let it simmer . . . I’m pretty sure you can handle that.
The first night I made his I served it with some warm homemade whole wheat bread . . Mmmm! the second time around I served it with a delicious quick cheese bread that was out of this world. I will definitely be sharing that recipe soon. Add in a salad and you’ve got yourself an absolutely fabulous dinner!

I used a rotisserie chicken for this. I just sauteed the garlic and onion in the butter and then threw in my shredded rotisserie chicken. So easy and delicious.

Hi Kami! Glad you liked this soup, we think it’s delicious too! My mother-in-law made it and told me that my father-in-law was pretty much liking his bowl clean! I love how quick and easy it is.
How much chicken do I need if I use a rotisserie chicken? I love soup and am always ready to try a new recipe. Thanks for posting.
Hi Rose! I used about 3 1/2 cups of Rotisserie chicken. Hope you enjoy it!
