Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
- Clean and chop the leek into half-moon slices.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the celery stalk into small pieces.
- In a large pot, pour 6 cups of chicken gravy and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
- Add the sliced carrots, chopped leek, minced garlic, chopped celery, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tbsp rosemary to the pot with the chicken gravy.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender.
- Add the 10 oz pasta to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary (salt and pepper as needed).
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the carrots, leek, and celery into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- For a richer flavor, you can use homemade chicken gravy. If using store-bought, choose a low-sodium option for better control over the seasoning.
- Sauté the garlic and vegetables in a bit of olive oil before adding the chicken gravy. This will enhance the flavors and add a deeper dimension to the soup.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking and easier eating.
- Add the pasta towards the end of the cooking process to avoid it becoming mushy.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices of your choice, such as thyme or parsley, to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and make for an excellent quick meal.
