Recipe Description
The broth can be made from scratch by boiling chicken with aromatics, or you can use store-bought chicken broth for convenience. It’s a go-to meal for cold weather or whenever you want something simple yet wholesome. Plus, it’s a great way to use leftover chicken and vegetables!

- 2 zucchini

Method
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Return it to the stock pot and keep warm. If it is too thick, more water can be added.
Step 4
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.
