ITALIAN CHICKEN SOUP

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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.

Time 4h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken (4 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces with the backbone, plus 8 extra wings (1 1/2 pounds)
4 large sprigs parsley
2 large sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
1 small onion, diced (1 cup)
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds (1 cup)
1 cup chopped fennel
One 14.5-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
8 ounces cooked ditalini
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Red-pepper flakes and grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 14 cups water, chicken pieces, backbone, wings, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Skim foam, reduce heat, and gently simmer for 25 minutes. Remove chicken (except wings); continue simmering while you discard skin and remove meat from bones. Cover meat and refrigerate; return bones to pot and simmer 3 1/2 hours more.

  • Cut or tear reserved chicken into 3 cups of bite-size pieces. (You'll end up with an extra cup of meat; save it for a salad or a sandwich.) Add to broth, along with ditalini, basil, and lemon juice. Heat through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, top with red-pepper flakes and Parmesan, and serve.

ITALIAN TOMATO CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Italian Tomato Chicken Noodle Soup image

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!

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND TOMATOES



Italian Chicken and Tomatoes image

Quick and easy and yummy to boot!!! Threw this together one day when I was in a rush. You can substitute hamburger for the chicken.

Provided by Erica_Hildebrand

Categories     Stew

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 chopped tomato
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook chicken until done in a skillet using olive oil and a touch of butter for flavour over medium heat.
  • Add in tomatoes to deglaze the pan and then add in the rest of the ingredients.
  • Cook for 20 minutes on medium low temperature until vegetables are tender.
  • Serve over white rice or pasta.
  • I love to serve this with recipe #82356, Cheese and Jalapeno Foccacia Bread.

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.

Conclusion:

This Italian chicken soup with pasta and tomatoes is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
