One of the best things about this recipe is that you only need a few simple ingredients which are all easy to find at your local grocery store, so it's a cheap yet filling meal that your whole family will love. Plus, it helps to keep your food budget in check.
- Butter - I use unsalted butter to saute the vegetables. This helps to keep down the salt level in the soup.
- Onion - I like to use a sweet or yellow onion for soup, they have the best flavor for cooking.
- Garlic - Fresh minced garlic cloves work best, however, you can use the jarred kind or even garlic powder if needed.
- Carrots - My family prefers the flavor of large carrots. However, baby carrots would also work.
- Celery - Celery adds a nice flavor to your mirapox and gives your soup some extra vegetables.
- All-purpose flour - This will help thicken the soup.
- Chicken bouillon - Bouillion is optional but it gives the soup a little more flavor depth. I think bouillon makes the best soup.
- Spices - You will need black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and salt for this recipe.
- Chicken broth - I like to use homemade chicken broth, but you can also use vegetable broth.
- Water - This will help give your soup a little more broth.
- Rotisserie chicken - Don't have a store-bought rotisserie chicken? You can roast a whole chicken at home instead.
- Noodles - I like to use wide egg noodles when I am making chicken noodle soup.
- Fresh parsley adds a hint of fresh flavor and a beautiful pop of color to the top of your soup.
