Chicken Vegetable Soup
Chicken vegetable soup is a comforting and nutritious dish combining tender chicken pieces with various vegetables simmered in a flavorful broth.
Ingredients
- 2 carrot peeled and cut into small pieces
- 1 leek cleaned, white part sliced
- 3 celery cleaned and sliced, ribs
- 2 zucchini sliced
- 2 garlic peeled, cloves
- 2 chicken breast Skinless, Boneless cut into small cubes, whole
- chicken backs, wings, neck chicken
- pasta small soup pasta
Instructions
- Place over medium heat a stock pot with water and add all the above ingredients ( not the pasta). Add more water to cover and cook at medium low, with the lid half covering the pot for 45 minutes.
- When all the vegetables are tender, and the chicken fully cooked, remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes. In a food processor place all the vegetables and puree it all. Clean the chicken from the bones and puree as well.
- Return it to the stock pot and keep warm. If it is too thick, more water can be added.
- At this point I cooked small rings (ditalini) egg pasta. When done I drain and place some of the pasta in a soup bowl and add the soup over it.
