5:30 CHALLENGE: 5 INGREDIENTS, 30 MINUTES

Rotisserie chickens mean it's never been easier to make "homemade" chicken soup. Use packaged chicken broth to jump-start the flavor. Throw in the wings and a couple of bones for added richness. For an added touch, sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley before serving. Because the noodles can absorb a lot of liquid, have some extra broth on hand, especially when reheating.

Hands on time:   Total time: 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    Chicken Noodle Soup
    4 servings
    1 traditional or lemon-flavored rotisserie chicken breast
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
    1 (32-ounce) package reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups medium egg noodles

Instructions:

Remove wings from chicken breast and set aside. Remove skin from breast and discard. Shred the meat from the breast --- you should have about 3 cups --- and break off breast bones. In a large, lightly oiled stockpot over medium heat, saute onions, carrots, chicken wings and breast bones for 5 minutes, or until vegetables soften.
Add 2 cups water and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Add chicken meat and cook for 5 minutes. If too thick, add broth or water. Remove and discard bones before serving.
