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.

ITALIAN CHICKEN SOUP
This satisfying soup gets its Italian flair from fennel, thyme, basil and orzo pasta. If you don't start with a low-sodium or sodium-free stock, you might want to decrease the amount of salt called for in the recipe. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

ITALIAN TOMATO CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
This recipe has been in my family for years. My dad's mom made it for him, and my dad made it for me. It is a great recipe to make when you are sick because it requires little effort. When I have more time and really want to dress this recipe up, I'll use roasted chicken instead of the canned chicken. I never measure anything, I just eye-ball everything! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Saute onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic in butter over medium heat in a large stock pot or dutch oven until soft.
- Add rosemary, marjoram, thyme, pepper and chicken. Saute 3-5 minutes until flavors marry, stirring occasionally.
- Add tomato soup, chicken boullion, and water. Bring to boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (The longer it simmers the better, sometimes I'll let it go all day!).
- You can either add the uncooked noodles 30 minutes or so before serving or I just boil them in another pot and disperse into individual bowls! I often make this soup with rice instead of noodles, too.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the soup. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of pasta. Short pastas, like penne or rotini, work well in this soup. You could also use a long pasta, like spaghetti or linguine, if you prefer.
- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. You can also add a bay leaf or two to the pot for extra flavor.
- If you don't have any fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the soup.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
