CREAMY CHICKEN CACCIATORE SOUP

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the noodles
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Pinch of turmeric
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine (any kind will do)
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
6 ounces egg noodles
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a 5 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place skin-side down in the pot. Brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the first side, then flip and brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the mushrooms, garlic, bell peppers, onion, thyme and turmeric to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the edges are starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes. Use your spoon to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits that might be stuck there. Add the chicken stock, diced tomatoes and chicken thighs. Season the soup with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Fill a 4-quart pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the noodles, put back into the pot they were cooked in and toss with a scant tablespoon of olive oil; set aside.
  • When the chicken is ready, transfer it to a cutting board. Using 2 forks, remove the chicken from the bones and shred. Some skin will end up in the mix, which is totally fine. Add the shredded meat back to the soup. Discard the skin and bones.
  • Add the noodles to the soup, as well as the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
  • If you are making this soup ahead of time, undercook the noodles by 2 minutes as directed on the package, so they don't overcook when the soup is reheated. Alternatively, cook the noodles, drain, toss in olive oil and store separately, adding them to the soup once it has been reheated. Serve as directed above.

SARASOTA'S SPEEDY CHICKEN CACCIATORE SOUP



Sarasota's Speedy Chicken Cacciatore Soup image

This was in a small cookbook I bought at a Christmas Holiday Sale, probably 10 years back. It was submitted by Ellen Yatze, from Ft. Myers Florida. Ellen, it is a great soup! It is funny how going through my old recipe boxes, I have all these old hand written recipes, I have yet to type up - ones I simply forgot about. The title says it all. But what I like about this is how quick it cooks up. Other than chopping your chicken (I used a store bought rotisserie) and basil, and cooking the bacon, the rest is open the can or jar and add to the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes and you have a hearty soup. By all means, when I have time, I would be using chicken breasts, fresh onions and would roast my own red peppers, but the whole idea behind this soup is "quick!" She suggested serving it with some parmesan polenta and of course with the olive garnish.

Time 35m

Yield 4 Large bowls, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 slices bacon, diced (then sauteed)
1 lb chicken, diced (about 1/2 rotisserie chicken is what I used, but you can more or less if you want)
1 cup onion, diced (I use the pre-diced frozen onions, you can get them pre-diced right from the produce section too)
8 ounces white mushrooms (I used the pre-sliced mushrooms from the produce section)
3/4 cup roasted red pepper, diced (right from a jar)
1/2 green pepper (thin sliced in 1-inch pieces) (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes, diced, Italian blend if possible
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper
1/3 cup black olives, chopped (buy the can that is pre-chopped)
1/3 cup green olives, chopped
olive oil
cheesy polenta (quick cooking polenta and parmesan cheese)

Steps:

  • Bacon -- In a large pot, saute your bacon in 1 teaspoon olive oil on medium heat until crisp.
  • Vegetables -- To the bacon and drippings, add your onions, mushrooms, garlic and cook until slightly softened, just a couple of minutes. Add in the roasted red pepper, Optional green pepper, red pepper flakes and cook another minute.
  • Broth -- Add the red wine and vinegar and cook just a minute scraping up any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add in the broth, tomatoes, and chicken. Check for seasoning (salt and pepper). Lower to medium low heat and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes. Finish with the fresh basil the last couple of minutes.
  • Garnish -- As your soup is simmering, make your garnish and polenta. For the olives -- in a small bowl, fine chop and mix the two olives together and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. I like a mix of black and green, but use what you like best - and let people help themselves. And for the polenta, simply make your favorite kind. I used a quick cooking which was. Two (2) cups chicken broth and 1/2 cup polenta, and stir in 1/2 cup parmesan right at the end, salt and pepper. I used quick cooking so 5 minutes and it was done. Use your favorite.
  • Serve -- A couple of ladles per bowl, top with a scoop of the cheesy polenta and garnish with the olives.
