Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 heads garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 3-4 large carrots peeled and diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8-10 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup small pasta noodles I used stellette (stars!)
- 1 cooked rotisserie chicken meat peeled off the bone and chopped
- 2 lemons juiced (about ½ cup of juice)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley and lemon slices
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium. Add garlic and carrots and cook until the garlic just starts to brown. Be careful not to let the garlic burn!
- Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Add pasta noodles and cook until tender. Increasing the heat back to medium will speed up this process.
- Add the cooked chicken and lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Serve with lemon slices and parsley.
