Roasted Chicken Vegetable Soup An Easy Basic Recipe

Are you craving soup yet? We were when we made this delicious bowl of goodness.

The weather turned cold. We wanted something hot. But, we wanted something easy.

We were busy packing for our trip South and didn't have the time to make soup with lots of steps. The ingredients immediately attracted us to this minestra {soup}.

We had everything -- the garlic, onion, carrots, peas, fennel, herbs, pasta, and broth. Super easy and fast! The original recipe did not call for any meat. But, as I mentioned before, Honey likes his meat in his soups and stews. We didn't have anything thawed. This meant we had to go to plan B.

We had to run to a big box store before we finished our packing.

The lightbulb turned on in our brains. The store sells roasted chicken for $5.00. I marvel at that price! You can't buy a chicken and roast it for less than that. Once we were home, we gathered the ingredients and began putting together what we now decided to make -- Roasted Chicken Vegetable Soup With Pasta.

The only hands-on work was roughly chopping the onions, garlic, fennel bulb, dicing the carrots, and tearing the meat off of two chicken breasts and two thighs.

I wield a mean can opener, so I was in charge of opening the Ro-tel tomatoes, the cans of chicken broth and popping the lid off the carton of beef broth.

We were ready to roll.

While the onion and garlic cooked, I went outside and picked three bay leaves from our bush and picked basil leaves from our plants.

When I came back inside, the aroma of garlic and onion sauteeing on the stove greeted me.

That kitchen aroma reminds me of my mamma. I can't count the times she started a recipe with a battuto {a flavor base of finely chopped vegetables such as onion, garlic with pancetta, or pork fat}.

It didn't take long before we added the seasoning, chopped vegetables, and Ro-tel tomatoes. Once the vegetables softened, we poured the liquids into the pot. The frozen peas and cooked ditalini went in, as well.

Before we knew it, an aromatic soup simmered on the stove. We ladled the roasted chicken vegetable soup with pasta into our bowls. We finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

If you love hearty soups then next time you have to try grandma's favorite soup, this Beef and Barley recipe. The soup is bursting with flavor and the meat is so tender it melts in your mouth.

When we're looking for a lighter soup we always turn to our Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup recipe. The lemon is the secret ingredient that gives it a bright fresh flavor that is welcome any time of year.

Notes

This is a great recipe to use your leftover turkey. It's delicious and the meat is extra moist from the soup stock. 
*** be sure not to overcook pasta because it goes into the soup.
**** be careful with the salt. The canned broth is already salted. Be sure to taste.
