  1. Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced celery and carrots, sautéing for 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock and season with rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Taste the broth before adding more salt, and adjust with Better Than Bouillon if desired.
  5. Bring the broth to a boil, then add the homemade egg noodles (or dry pasta). Cook until noodles are al dente, being careful not to overcook if using store-bought noodles.
  6. Once noodles are just tender, remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
