Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 cups chopped onions
4 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 14- to 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice

I'm allergic to fennel, so I used anise instead. The soup still turned out great!

I followed the recipe but my soup turned out too watery. I think I added too much broth.

I wasn't impressed with this soup. The flavors didn't really come together for me.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it still turned out delicious. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and added some diced carrots and celery.
