Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces chicken tenders, cut into bite-size chunks
  • 1 small zucchini, finely diced
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons orzo or other tiny pasta, such as farfelline
  • 1 1/2 cups packed baby spinach

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add zucchini, shallot, Italian seasoning and salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, broth, wine and orzo (or other tiny pasta); increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the pasta is tender, about 8 minutes, or according to package directions. Stir in spinach, the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices from the chicken; cook, stirring, until the chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes.

    Great soup

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    i made this soup and it was totally awesome, good rich taste and healthy, all the fresh vegetables you could want, definitely... double the amount because you wont stop at one bowl. i have limited cooking space and this was easy to make, a sprinkle of Adobo seasoning on top of the a bowl of soup just sets it off, i look forward to making this soup for my family in the future. totally recommended.Read more

    I must have missed something

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I thought this soup sounded like something that I would repeat again and again and again! However, I seriously must have... missed something. I doubled the recipe, so maybe that was it, but we found it bland and tasteless. I added kosher salt, garlic powder, white pepper, crushed red pepper and fresh ground pepper and still decided that it needed something. My 14-year-old is my guinea pig with new recipes and she said that it just didn't have any distinct flavor. I love the base of the soup, so I will continue working with it.,..adding carrots, and fresh garlic, perhaps fresh rosemary and basil. When I make it again, I will use a lot more fresh herbs and vegetables and figure out a way to make the flavors POP! Thanks for the base of the recipe, it is definitely a stepping stone to something awesome. Read more
