Description

This is one of my favorite soup/stews. It’s healthy and yummy and something you can serve to the entire family.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chopped White Onion
  • ½ cups Chopped Green Bell Pepper
  • ½ cups Chopped Red Bell Pepper
  • 2 whole Zucchini, Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cans 28 Oz Crushed Tomatoes
  • 2 cubes Chicken Bouillon
  • 8 pieces Skinless Chicken Tenders
  • 1 box (16 Oz. Box) Ancini Di Pepe Pasta
  • Grated Parmigiano Cheese, To Serve
  • Olive Oil

Preparation

For the stew:
Saute the onion in olive oil. Add the green and red bell peppers. Add the zucchini slices. Add the flour and mix together. Continue to saute for 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Saute the chicken tenders until cooked. Next, cut the chicken up into cubes and add the chicken cubes to the stew. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For the pasta:
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the box of ancini di pepe. Add salt and boil for 9 minutes. Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot. Mix the pasta with about a tablespoon of olive oil.

How to serve to children:
Take the stew and puree it until everything is blended. Pour pureed stew over the pasta and mix together. Add some of the liquid from the stew to the pasta, then sprinkle with parmigiano cheese and it’s ready to serve.

@danishdelight you can use any kind of tiny pasta that you can find. I make this at least twice a month and it keeps well for the next day.

This soup looks amazing. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the Ancini Di Pepe Pasta but I guess you could use any type of tiny pasta. Looks wonderful.

Made this last night. I opted not to puree and only used two cans (14.5 oz. each) of tomatoes, 2 chicken breasts, and 1.5 cups of ancini de pepe. Even that was a bit much. I think next time I’ll scale back to a cup of pasta. I also added some Italian seasoning. Enjoyed the flavor combo very much!

Very easy. My kids loved this and even ate without puree the sauce. I have never used Ancini di Pepe Pasta, but it is perfect size pasta for little ones to feed themselves. My hubby and I liked it but definitely will add fresh herbs to it for a little bit more flavor. Thank you for sharing.
