Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ditalini pasta (a very short macaroni-type pasta)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 fryer chicken, cut into pieces
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 fresh jalapenos, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups heavy cream
Parmesan shavings, for serving
Crusty Italian bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions; do not overcook. Drain and rinse in cold water to cool. Toss in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and set aside.
  • Put the chicken pieces in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the pot, shred the meat and set aside. Discard the bones and skin. Skim the fat from the stock, then strain the stock and set aside.
  • In a new pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute the bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, onion and oregano over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their liquid and the reserved chicken stock and shredded chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta and cream and stir to combine. Turn off the heat.
  • Serve with lots of Parmesan on the top--the more the better--and crusty Italian bread is good too.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become tender.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken noodle soup include noodles, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
