Notes

To enhance the flavor of your Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup, consider using homemade chicken broth if possible. You can also adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding herbs like thyme or bay leaf while cooking. Removing excess skin and fat from the rotisserie chicken can make the soup lighter, and be sure to taste the broth before adding salt since store-bought broths may already contain sodium.
