Ingredients:

Serving

olive oil
3 medium sweet onions
2 1/2 medium green peppers
10 hearts celery ( i estimated 8 whole stalks , but only had hearts)
8 -10 medium carrots (6 large would be enough)
8 medium sized potatoes (maybe just 4-5 larger idaho baking potatoes )
10 -12 garlic cloves
4 quarts chicken stock (2 from boxed broth, 2 from concentrate)
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (28 oz) cans tomatoes , 28 oz can and (i used generic safeway diced petite, (1, 1)
1 cup of chopped parsley
white pepper (2 tbsp total )
black pepper (1.5 or 2 tbsp )
salt (1.5 tbsp , and then ed to taste at end)
2 lbs ditalini , as needed when serving (or stubby pasta of choice)

Directions:

In a large stockpot:. heat olive oil under fairly low to medium heat.
Sweat onion, celery, green pepper and some salt (to draw off moisture) for perhaps 30 minutes - this is lower than browning, and makes the veggies somewhat translucent. I covered, and mixed every few minutes to prevent browning.
Add carrots, garlic, some white pepper and some black pepper, and continue to heat under sweat conditions while mixing now and then.
Add chicken stock, chicken breasts, tomatoes and potatoes - and of course some more white pepper and black pepper.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours (or use crock pot?).
Remove chicken and let cool and stand to shred.
Add chopped parsley and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Salt to taste at this point, and add more white and black pepper if your tongue is not twitching a bit when you sample. ;-).
Simmer while cooking ditalini (or other stubby pasta).
Serve soup over cooked pasta to taste.
Note: Like many soups, this may be better made the day before and then served when needed. We will freeze some for ready-made meals and I think it will work out well.
