Don’t throw out that leftover rotisserie chicken…make soup!
This delicious, hearty soup began as about half a leftover rotisserie chicken from Costco. I always make stock from all leftover chicken and bones.
Also, if I can’t find the time right away, I always freeze it until I have the time to make stock.

The chorizo sausage adds a warm smokey character to the broth which is a nice twist on a traditional chicken noodle soup.
An alternative to buying an already cooked rotisserie chicken is to try our speedy One Hour Roast Chicken recipe.

TIPS
- I should also mention that this is a very good soup without the chorizo sausage, if you prefer not to have it or just don’t have it on hand.
- Don’t hesitate to make this soup with any leftover chicken you have. I’ve even used leftover BBQ chicken with the sauce and/or seasoning left on. It really gave a great smoky, sweet and spicy flavour to the broth. Well worth trying.
I normally make chicken and beef stock in the oven from collecting leftover bones and freezing them until I’ve accumulated enough. To find out more about this take a look at this post on How to Make chicken or Beef Stock in the Oven. There are a couple of good reasons why I think it is the best and most economical way.

Chorizo Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
Chorizo Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup. Turn an ordinary supermarket rotisserie chicken into a delicious comfort food soup.
Ingredients
For the soup stock
- 1 cooked supermarket rotisserie chicken
- 8-10 cups water
- 1 onion, cut in quarters
- 1 carrot, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- pinch salt and pepper to season
For the soup
- Chicken stock prepared earlier
- 3 carrots, cut in coins or sticks
- 6 ounces chopped chorizo sausage
- 1 diced red pepper
- 2 tbsp summer savoury
- 1 cup medium egg noodles
- Pinch salt and pepper to season
Instructions
For the Soup Stock
- Remove most of the meat from a rotisserie chicken, cut it in large cubes and set aside in the fridge for later.
- Slowly simmer the chicken bones in the water along with the onion, carrot, and garlic. Simmer gently for about an hour.
- Strain the stock through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
- Skim off any excess fat that comes to the surface. You can make the stock a day ahead if you like and refrigerate it overnight, which makes the fat that comes to the surface much easier to remove.
To prepare the Chorizo Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
- Add the prepared chicken stock, savoury, and carrots to a large soup pot.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes before adding the egg noodles, red pepper, cubed cooked chicken breasts and chorizo sausage.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Simmer until the noodles are tender and serve.
Notes
- If you want to make this a quick and easy soup, you can just buy 2 litres of low sodium chicken stock and use that instead of making it.
- If you have leftover chicken of any sort, don't hesitate to use it at all. You can easily make half a recipe too if you choose.
