Chicken and Stars Soup
For anyone else who loved Chicken and Stars Soup as a kid like I did, here is the all-natural homemade version that tastes even better! Plus it’s quick and easy to make, and so delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small white onion
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups good-quality chicken stock
- 2 cups finely-chopped cooked chicken
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup uncooked stelline (star-shaped pasta)
- fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
- optional garnishes: freshly-grated Parmesan, lemon wedge, and/or chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Sauté the mirepoix. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Simmer. Add the chicken stock, chicken, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Add the pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until it is al dente.
- Season. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Taste and season the soup with salt and pepper (and/or additional herbs) as needed.
- Serve. Serve warm with your desired garnishes and enjoy!

This soup was delicious and so easy to make! I think it’s the first time that all 3 of my kids have eaten dinner without complaining!! I found the star shaped noodles at Target. https://www.target.com/p/signature-stelline-16oz-good-38-gather-8482/-/A-79283467
Can this be made in slow Cooker and for how long
Thanks
This is such a simple and delicious recipe. My wife loves it and begs me to make it for her all the time. It’s become a once-a-week meal for us. 5 stars!
