• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 2 stalks celery stalk, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup pasta (e.g., small shells or ditalini)
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned and opaque. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and return the cooked chicken to the pot. Let it cook gently for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Add the pasta to the soup and continue simmering for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
