The recipe calls for pulled chicken, but my Dad used pre-cooked chicken strips. It was still pretty good but I'm going to use pulled chicken with some seasoning on there when I make it myself...I'll let you know how it is and share a picture.

CARRABBA'S SPICY SICILLIAN CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- In a large stockpot:. heat olive oil under fairly low to medium heat. "Sweat" onion, celery, green pepper and some salt (to draw off moisture) for perhaps 30 minutes -- this is lower than browning, and makes the veggies somewhat translucent. Cover and mixed every few minutes to prevent browning. Add carrots, garlic, some white pepper and some black pepper, and continue to heat under "sweat" conditions while mixing now and then. Add chicken stock, chicken breasts, tomatoes and potatoes -- and of course some more white pepper and black pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours (or use crock pot?). Remove chicken and let cool and stand to shred. Add chopped parsley and return the shredded chicken to the soup. Salt to taste at this point, and add more white and black pepper if your tongue is not twitching a bit when you sample. Simmer while cooking ditalini (or other stubby pasta). Serve soup over cooked pasta to taste. Note: Like many soups, this may be better made the day before and then served when needed. Also can freeze some for ready-made meals.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: There are many different spices that can be used to make spicy chicken soup. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Experiment with different combinations of spices to find a flavor that you like.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Add vegetables to your soup: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to your soup. Some good choices for vegetables in spicy chicken soup include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
Conclusion:
Spicy chicken soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and nutritious meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spicy chicken soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
