    Chicken Vegetable Soup with Pasta is a delicious, easy-to-make meal, packed with spinach, green bell pepper, carrots, tomatoes, and red kidney beans. Spiced up with oregano, basil and paprika! So good – it makes a great dinner and a perfect lunch!

    All the flavors work really well in this chicken and vegetable soup. I've also made it with gluten free brown rice pasta - and it worked great!

    I like to cook pasta separately from soup, drain it, rinse it with cold water, then add the cooked and drained pasta to the soup - it helps the pasta keep its perfect shape and not get too soft! It's especially true if you use gluten free brown rice pasta.

    Recipe notes

    • Use gluten free brown rice penne to make this chicken vegetable soup gluten free.
    • Start cooking the pasta at the same time you start making the soup to save time.
    • Do not overcook the chicken. Lightly brown the sliced chicken with spices, and then continue cooking the chicken in the soup.

    Instructions 

    • In a large soup pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 1 minute. Then add chopped green bell pepper and cook for another minute on medium-high heat. Remove vegetables from the pan.
    • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, heat it up on medium-high heat. Slice chicken into small pieces. Season chicken slices generously with paprika, oregano, basil, and salt. Sautee on medium-high heat until browned on both sides. The chicken does not have to be cooked all the way through, as you will continue cooking it in the next steps.
    • Return cooked onions and bell peppers to the pan. Add chopped carrots, tomatoes, red kidney beans, fresh spinach, and minced garlic. Add chicken broth and water. Add ½ teaspoon of oregano and ½ teaspoon basil. Bring to boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes until carrots are cooked and chicken cooked through.
    • Meanwhile cook pasta according to directions on package, al dente. Add cooked and drained pasta to soup and cook a couple of minutes longer.
    • Season with salt to taste.
