Italian Chicken Noodle Soup
(Serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. raw chicken sausage, casings removed
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 calabrese pepper, stemmed and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 2 tbsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 lb. dried pasta (choose your favorite shape or use up any leftover dried pastas)
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- One 15.5 oz. can cannellini beans
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 2 tbsp. fresh oregano leaves
How to make it:
- In a 6-quart stock pot, heat oil over medium heat; add sausage and break up with a spoon into small pieces. Cook sausage until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove sausage from pot, and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the garlic and onions; sweat until translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Then add the carrots, celery, bay leaf and calabrese pepper. Continue to saute until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add in the tomato paste and saute until evenly combined, about 5 minute.
- Add the chicken stock and salt; bring to a boil and add pasta. Cook pasta until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Lower heat to a simmer and add remaining ingredients, including the reserved sausage. Let soup simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Taste soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
