Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 3 large chopped carrots, 1 medium chopped yellow onion, and 2 ribs of finely diced celery, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, stirring for an additional minute to release their aroma. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and ¼ cup of Sriracha, letting the flavors meld for 1 minute.
  2. Pour in 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 cup of water into the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. After the broth has simmered, add 2 cups of egg noodles and 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir well, then increase the heat back to high to return to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Ladle the hot Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup into bowls and serve warm.
