Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 pounds)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 celery ribs, chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) no-salt diced tomatoes
  • 2 dry bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 32 oz low-sodium chicken stock
  • Water (as needed)
  • 1/2 cup dry ditalini pasta
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot (at least 6 quarts), combine chicken thighs, onion, celery, carrots, bell pepper, potatoes, garlic, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock and enough water to cover the ingredients. Season with fresh black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat before reducing to low and simmering partially covered for about 30 minutes until the chicken is tender.
  3. Add ditalini pasta directly into the pot and cook for an additional 13-15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked through, carefully shred it using two forks and return it to the pot.
  5. Discard bay leaves before serving and stir in fresh parsley for added flavor.
