How to Make Chicken Minestrone Soup 6steps
1

Place the olive oil in a large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Now add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.

2

Add the chicken thighs, chicken broth, tomatoes, water, green beans, basil, oregano, parsley, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, and Parmesan rind to the pot. Mix well and increase the heat to bring to a boil. Let it boil for about 10 minutes.

3

Once the soup starts boiling, add the pasta, cannellini beans, spinach, and zucchini. Cook for 4 minutes less than the pasta package's cooking time, as the soup will continue to cook as it cools.

4

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the soup from the heat. Remove the bay leaves and Parmesan rind.

5

Using tongs, remove the chicken thighs and chop or shred them into small pieces. Then add the chopped chicken back to the pot.

6

Serve your soup hot with extra Parmesan sprinkled on top. Enjoy!

Chicken Minestrone Soup Cooking Tips

The pasta will absorb the soup's liquid, so if you prefer a more brothy soup, you can add a bit more chicken broth. Adjust the soup's consistency to your liking!

Bence tuzu biraz fazla olmuş, bir dahaki sefere azaltacağım.

Kekik tadı çok yoğun geldi, azaltarak denemeyi düşünüyorum.
