Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs,
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add the Chicken & Broth: Add the chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and water.  Add the bay leaves, salt, pepper, parsley, Italian seasoning and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
  3. Simmer:  Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 40 – 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. While simmering, skim any foam or scum off the surface for a clearer broth.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and place it on a plate. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones and skin. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.  Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Cook Pasta: (Optional) Cook pasta according to directions on box for al dente. When cooked pour back into pot and add a small amount of soup to the pasta so it does not stick together.
  6. Laddle pasta into bowls and add soup on top. Top with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
