Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked small pasta (such as ditalini or elbow macaroni)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the pot. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half to the soup before serving. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
