Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Ditalini pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth preferably low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup cooked chicken optional, shredded
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Simmer the Broth: Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the broth before simmering.
  • This recipe is versatile: feel free to add more vegetables such as spinach or zucchini.
  • To keep the pasta from becoming mushy, you can cook the Ditalini pasta separately and add it to the soup just before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, but the pasta may absorb some of the broth, so you might need to add a bit more broth when reheating.
