Notes
When making Chicken Soup with rotisserie chicken, one important thing to note is to be mindful of the salt content. Rotisserie chickens are often seasoned with salt during cooking, so it's essential to taste the soup before adding salt. You can always add more salt if needed, but correcting an overly salty soup is challenging. Start with less salt and adjust gradually to achieve the desired flavor without making the soup too salty.
