It’s almost universal, our yen for chicken soup. I don’t know of any hard evidence that it actually cures anything, but I do know it’s where I turn when I’ve had a rough day. This recipe is an amalgamation of the soup my mother served me after swim-team practice in the winter and the hundreds of bowls I’ve enjoyed outside my parents’ cozy kitchen.
In a large soup pot or saucepot, warm oil over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, and garlic and cook 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic. Add stock, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 5 minutes. Add pasta and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Do you not add chicken to your chicken soup????
I'm sure you didn't mean for it to be meatless -- oops!
That’s a popular question! The recipe does not have chicken meat in it, just chicken stock. We’ve updated the title to avoid further confusion.
