Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ cup yellow onion (diced)
- 3/4 cup diced carrots (diced)
- 3/4 cup celery (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Carcass of one 4- to 5-pound roast chicken
- 4 cups chicken broth (32 oz )
- 6 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup acini de pepe pasta (uncooked (½ package) (or ditalini or orzo))
- Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
- Parmesan cheese (for topping (optional) )
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots and celery and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until veggies have softened, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and saute for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken to the pot, along with the broth, water and bay leaf.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
- Remove the carcass with tongs and set aside to cool.
- Add the pasta to the broth and stir to combine. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, when the chicken is cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
- When the pasta is done, add the chicken to the broth and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy topped with parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
I prefer to use acini de pepe pasta in this soup, but any pasta shape will work. You can use egg noodles, ditalini, orzo, elbow macaroni, shells, etc.
