Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:

Pour in Chicken Broth:
- Pour the meticulously simmered and richly flavored roasted chicken broth into the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add Egg Noodles:
- Add the delicate egg noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions until the noodles are tender.
Incorporate Shredded Chicken:
- Once the noodles are cooked, add the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir to combine, allowing the chicken to heat through.
Season to Taste:
- Season the soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of cayenne for warmth. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Optional Additions:
- If desired, add diced red bell pepper and mushrooms for additional color and earthy notes. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Simmer and Serve:

Notes
Here are a few tips to make the best Costco Chicken Noodle Soup:
- Make sure to use low-sodium chicken broth and diced tomatoes. This will help to keep the soup from becoming too salty.
- Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- If you’re using canned chicken, make sure to drain and rinse it before adding it to the soup.
- To make this soup even heartier, feel free to add cooked rice or cooked quinoa
- If you’d like a thicker soup, you can add a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour at the end and stir until it’s combined.
- The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
