Steps:
- 1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the onions begin to soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, tie the parsley sprigs, lemon zest, and fennel tops together. Add the herb bundle, broth, 2 cups of water, and, if using, the cheese rind. Bring to a very gentle simmer and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones in large strips, and set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, add the sliced fennel, carrots, and celery to the broth and season with salt, to taste. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and cook until just al dente, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken, baby spinach, and Parmesan until the chicken is heated through and the spinach is wilted. Discard the herb bundle and cheese rind. Stir in lemon juice, to taste. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve with additional Parmesan for passing.

Steps:
- In a 5 quart soup pot or Dutch oven, bring tomato juice, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and spices to a simmer on medium heat.
- Next add drained vegetables and chicken and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Note - Sugar can be substituted with Splenda or just leave out. I use it because it keeps the tomatoes and their juices from being so bitter.
- Note 2 - Cannellini beans are just white kidney beans and chick peas are just garbonzo beans.
Tips:
- Prep your veggies in advance: Chop and dice your vegetables before you start cooking to save time and make the process smoother.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste its best. Look for ripe vegetables, tender chicken, and a flavorful broth.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot at once, they won't cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook gently for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches your desired flavor.

This Italian Chicken Vegetable Soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's packed with fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and a flavorful broth.
