Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (about 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 cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14.5 oz) can no-salt diced tomatoes
2 dry bay leaves
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 (32 oz) carton low-sodium chicken stock
4 cups water (or additional chicken stock)
1/2 cup dry ditalini pasta
1/2 cup fresh chopped Italian parsley
Fresh black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large soup pot (at least 6-quart), combine all the key ingredients: chicken thighs, onions, celery, carrots, bell pepper, potatoes, garlic, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt.
Pour in the chicken stock and water. Season with black pepper to your liking. Cover your pot and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes.
After removing the chicken from the pot, add in your ditalini pasta. Continue cooking for another 13-15 minutes until it's nice and tender.
While the pasta cooks, shred your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return that juicy shredded chicken back into the pot.
Before serving, discard those bay leaves and stir in freshly chopped parsley.
