Italian Chicken Soup

This is from the Pioneer Woman. So simple and SO yummy...That Pioneer Woman is a genius!! I love smart, simple, and delicious cooks.


1 box Ditalini pasta {I used the Barilla brand}
1 tbsp. olive oil
4 chicken breasts
8 cups chicken broth {this equals out to two big boxes of chicken broth}
1 medium onion, diced
2 green peppers, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 can {28. oz} whole tomatoes, diced
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup olive oil
4 tbsp. minced fresh oregano
salt & pepper, to taste
Parmesan Cheese shavings, as desired

First up, cook your pasta according to package directions.  I used the whole box of Ditalini, just incase you're wondering.  Drain pasta, rinse, and return to pot.  Toss in 1 tbsp. of olive oil and mix well.  Set this aside.
Cook your chicken and shred-or go easy and buy a rotisserie chicken and pull apart.
Chop up your bell peppers, celery, and onion.
Saute the peppers, onion, and celery, in a tablespoon of olive oil until tender {about 10ish minutes}. Now add the broth, chicken, and tomates {with all the tomato juice} to the pan.  Bring to a boil and the reduce the heat to simmer.
Then add pasta, heavy cream and oregano and stir until well combined.


Alright guys.  Tell me this doesn't look easy enough?!
