2packets ramen noodlesany flavor – the flavor packet gets tossed
1teaspoonminced fresh dill1/2 teaspoon dried or more to taste (optional)
Coarse or kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
Remove all of the meat from the rotisserie chicken. Place the skin and bones and every other little bit left from the chicken into a pot.
Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, partially covered. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill another large pot with water, salt it lightly, and bring to a boil on another burner. Cook the ramen noodles (discard the flavoring packet) just until barely tender, stirring so that they separate. Drain and leave in the colander for a moment. Shred the chicken meat.
After 20 to 30 minutes, however much time you have, strain the broth through a sieve into the pot you cooked the noodles in, and discard all of the chicken solids. Add the dill and the carrots and celery and return to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender. Add the shredded chicken and the cooked noodles, season with salt and pepper as needed and serve hot in bowls.
Notes
The dill is optional though it does make chicken noodle soup taste like chicken noodle soup to folks who grew up with the Jewish version of this soup.
