Cooking Steps

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat and add in the olive oil, celery, carrots, onion, bell pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the vegetables just start to soften.
  • Add in the chicken breast, garlic, potatoes, can of tomatoes, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, water, and chicken broth. Bring this to a full boil for about a minute then lower to a low simmer for 45 minutes - covered.
  • After the 45 minutes, pull out the cooked chicken and shred. You can just pull it apart using 2 forks. Add the chicken back to the pot along with your pasta and bring to a full boil again. Cook for the amount of time needed for your pasta. Ditalini is typically about 10 minutes.
  • We like to serve our soup with a little extra parsley on top and a few pieces of bread for dipping.

Notes

Adjust red pepper flakes for spice tolerance. For leftovers, cook pasta separately to avoid mushiness. Different chicken cuts like dark meat can be used. The salt amount may seem high but is balanced with pasta and potatoes. For slow cooker, cook on low for 6 hours without pasta and add cooked pasta before serving.
