Copycat Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup
The chicken noodle soup at Tim Hortons is so warm and comforting. I used to always have it for lunch, so I wanted to try making it at home. The recipe is really tasty because I use rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breasts. If you have a membership card, I recommend going to Costco for the chicken.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 ribs celery (diced)
- 3 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 red pepper (diced)
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 10 cups chicken stock, low-sodium (homemade stock is the best, but if you don't have it, I highly recommend Better than Bouillon)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley)
- 1 teaspoon marmite
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 cup shell pasta (or your pasta of choice)
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken meat
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta shells according to package instructions. Strain the pasta and set aside.
- Add butter, diced celery, and carrots to a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes. Add red peppers and green peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and season with black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Marmite yeast extract, and dried parsley. Taste the soup and then add salt if necessary. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add vinegar and rotisserie chicken.
- Mix cornstarch with three tablespoons of water, stir into the soup, and bring to a simmer to thicken. Taste and add more seasonings if needed.
- Divide the cooked pasta into serving bowls and ladle in the soup. Enjoy!
Notes
Stock: I highly recommend making this soup with homemade stock. Here is a good simple recipe. The next best choice is Better than Bouillon roasted chicken base, which is both flavorful and cost-effective. A single jar is only around $5, but you can make a ton of stock with it! Keep in mind, it's saltier than low-sodium stock, so you can omit the salt in the recipe.
Chicken: If you don't have rotisserie chicken meat, you can use chopped chicken breast or thigh meat. If it's raw, add it directly to the boiling soup in step 3. Cook for at least 3 minutes before adding the noodles.
