Print Recipe

This Italian Chicken Soup is a warm, hearty meal loaded with tender chicken, wholesome veggies, and delightful pasta, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Boneless Chicken Breast
  • 2 cups Pasta (your choice)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 2 Carrots, sliced
  • 2 Celery Stalks, sliced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping your ingredients. Chop the onion, slice the carrots and celery, and mince the garlic.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re tender and the onion is translucent.
  3. Add Garlic and Herbs: Toss in the minced garlic, oregano, and basil. Stir everything for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Introducing the Chicken: Add the boneless chicken breasts to the pot, followed by the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes.
  6. Cook the Pasta: While the soup simmers, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
  7. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  8. Final Touches: Add the cooked pasta to the soup, stir to combine, and let simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread.

Notes

This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Can be frozen but add fresh pasta when reheating.
