Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
6 whole sprigs, plus 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 (3-inch) strips lemon zest, cut from 1 lemon
1 small head fennel, thinly sliced (2 cups), fennel tops reserved
1 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
A 2-3 inch piece Parmesan rind, optional
2 carrots, sliced (1 cup)
2 stalks celery, sliced (1 cup)

3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus extra for passing
Lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the onions begin to soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, tie the parsley sprigs, lemon zest, and fennel tops together. Add the herb bundle, broth, 2 cups of water, and, if using, the cheese rind. Bring to a very gentle simmer and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones in large strips, and set aside.
  • 2. Meanwhile, add the sliced fennel, carrots, and celery to the broth and season with salt, to taste. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and cook until just al dente, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken, baby spinach, and Parmesan until the chicken is heated through and the spinach is wilted. Discard the herb bundle and cheese rind. Stir in lemon juice, to taste. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve with additional Parmesan for passing.

MY MY MY MINESTRA - ITALIAN VEGETABLE SOUP WITH PASTA



My My My Minestra - Italian Vegetable Soup With Pasta image

Some of Italy's finest ingredients make up this warming soup. Adapted from 'Pasta Cooking' by Parragon.... the original recipe called for spinach, which I didn't fancy, so I subbed zucchini. I get the impression that our zucchini are generally a bit smaller than those in the Northern hemisphere, so balance the amount used with your other vegetables, just feel your way! You don't want your soup to be over-loaded with any one vegetable. Hope you enjoy!

ITALIAN VEGETABLE SOUP



Italian Vegetable Soup image

Easy homemade soup after a busy day. The Italian seasoning gives it a wonderful flavor. I like to eat it with croutons in the soup or served with a crusty bread.
