Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or orzo)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Stir in zucchini, potato, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  6. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
  7. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and Parmesan if desired.

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version of this soup.
  • You can substitute the pasta with rice for a gluten-free option.
