A flavourful Chicken and Sausage Soup made without noodles! This comforting bowl of soup combines roasted shredded chicken, chicken sausage and a few hearty vegetables.
Chicken and Sausage Soup
A soup doesn’t always need pasta in it to make it delicious. A few good quality ingredients combined with some aromatics will help any soup sing.
Leftover Roast Chicken
If you follow along, you know how much we love leftover rotisserie chicken. Sometimes we roast two and sometimes we buy two from the grocery store already cooked and ready to eat. A great tip for changing it up a bit is to use leftover roast turkey in this soup.
Chicken Soup Ingredients
You may be surprised to learn uur soup combines only a handful of ingredients creating a flavourful and memorable meal.
Leftover Roast Chicken. Roast your own whole chicken, poach chicken breasts, or buy a cooked roast chicken, set some aside to make this soup.
Chicken Sausage. Pick up a couple of sausage links without all kinds of fillers. We love Spolumbo’s here in Calgary, and buy their sausages regularly.
Aromatics. Fresh peeled carrots and onion plus celery are best in this soup.
Herbs. Try to find fresh, otherwise dried will do.
Stock or Broth. Great if you have homemade otherwise stick to less salt broth so you can add your own salt.
There is nothing quite like a hot, steaming bowl of chicken soup on a cold day, or when you are feeling under the weather.
This soup comes together in less than an hour and is lovely after a day of winter adventures.

I like down to earth recipes. I don’t like looking high and low for some exotic ingredient. When I ask for a substitute I am often told to leave it out. This is to me like using the phrase “at this point in time” as opposed to “now”. A little phony. I like your recipes. So keep up the good work. Thanks for the sausage & chicken soup recipe.
Thank you Fred, you are very kind and your feedback means a lot!
