Today there was a fight about chicken noodle soup. I really want chicken noodle soup, and thought that the best way to make it here in Norway is to get chicken breasts, bullions, noodles and cook the chicken, cut it up and put it in a pot of water with the bullion’s and noodles and cook it.
I am not a cook or anything, but the fight was about what kind of chicken to get. I wanted to get just plain, run of the mill uncooked chicken. He wanted to get rotisserie chicken “because thats the way the soup gets flavor”. But as far as I know, regular chicken noodle soup (the kind I was aiming for) does not have “roasted chicken flavor”.
Can someone help me!? I need a good (and easy for the cooking-challenged) recipe for chicken noodle soup.
Once I get that, everything will be perfect, except for the fact that they don’t sell saltine crackers in Norway. I never thought I’d miss saltine crackers!

get the rotisserie chicken, enjoy that as a meal. then make broth out of the bones and whatever meat remains.
cover the carcass with water and add some onions (leave the skins on for color), carrots, celery and salt, pepper, poultry seasoning (thyme, parsely, sage, marjoram). boil it for an hour or so. strain the liquid, pick the meat off the bones to save for the soup.
if the broth is weak tasting add boulion cubes. then you can add the meat and noodles and whatever else you are wanting in the soup. trust me, it’s worth the effort to make your own broth. plus you are getting two meals for the price of one.

I’ve never heard of chicken soup being made with rotisseries chicken — I’m sure it wouldn’t be BAD, but it would definitely have a different flavor. Maybe you should end up making it both ways and see which one you guys like the best! :)
