How to Create a Slow-Cooked Taste in 60 Minutes
With just a few ingredients from the supermarket, it is so easy to make a quick soup with a depth of flavor. The first step is to use bone broth. Higher-quality bone broth will have more flavor, but use what you can find. Bone broth has previously been cooked for a long time, so it saves you a step!
Next, use rotisserie chicken. Of course, you’ll use the chicken meat for the soup. But, you also want to use it for another purpose! At the bottom of every rotisserie chicken package is a bit of broth/juices from the cooking and cooling process. Save this stuff!
The juices that accumulate at the bottom of the chicken have an amazing roasted flavor. Add that stuff right into the soup for a deeper chicken essence! Any time you use rotisserie chicken for a recipe, utilize those flavorful, concentrated juices at the bottom for gravies, stews, and soups!

How to Make Quick and Easy Immunity-Boosting Chicken Noodle Soup
Begin by melting the butter in a medium stockpot over moderate heat. Cut your veggies into small pieces, as this soup cooks fairly quickly.
Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes or until well browned. You want the veggies well browned because that will lend a depth of flavor to the soup.
Once the veggies are soft and browned, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the bone broth, water, turmeric, bay leaves, and kale. Also, add the reserved juices from the rotisserie chicken. Bring the soup to a boil and reduce to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are very tender.
Once the veggies are tender, add the chicken, salt, and pepper to the soup. Allow the chicken to heat through.
Meanwhile, bring a small stockpot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes until al dente, or as per your package directions. Drain and add to the soup.
Off the heat, add the juice of 1 lemon. Stir and remove the bay leaves. Serve immediately!
