Method
14 steps- Pour 10 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken broth into a large soup pot.

- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp olive oil and sauté the chopped onions and celery for 5 to 8 minutes until golden.
- Transfer sautéed vegetables to the soup pot along with the sliced carrots.
- Add 6 oz spiral pasta to the soup and cook for 15 minutes at a low boil or until desired doneness.
- Remove the chicken thighs, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces with two forks, and discard any fat or bones.
- Return shredded chicken to the pot.

Recipe notes
Helpful tips
- Use chicken thighs for a richer flavour and tender texture.
- Keep the soup at a gentle boil while the chicken cooks.
- Sauté the onion and celery before adding them to the soup for extra flavour.
- Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces before returning it to the pot.
- Add the garlic and fresh dill near the end of cooking so their flavour stays fresh.
- Taste the soup before adding extra salt, especially if using regular chicken broth.
Equipment
- Large soup pot
- Large frying pan
- Sharp knife
- Chopping board
- Wooden spoon
- Two forks for shredding chicken
Storage
Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat until piping hot throughout. The pasta will continue to soften as the soup sits.
