Drain.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot,
celery, and salt; cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken, bay leaf, thyme, and broth to
the vegetables, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the pasta to the soup just before serving. Ladle into warm bowls and serve. Soup can be made in
advance and frozen, just omit the pasta and add when serving.
