This soup is the reason why I joined Cookpad! I could never remember all the ingredients for this soup and I couldn't ask the Tamburino's to tell me the recipe for the 10+ time! #italian

Steps

1.5 hours

1

In a large stockpot, add in chicken thighs, bay leaves, whole onion, and water. (Water should be about 1 inch above the chicken thighs. We think its about 8 cups.) Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 25 minutes. Pull out the chicken and whole onion and set aside chicken and discard onion.
2

Add in carrots, celery, onion and tomato. Bring back to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Shred chicken while vegetables are cooking.
3

Add in orzo pasta and parsley, cook for 10 minutes or until al dente. Shred chicken while pasta is cooking.
4

Add in shredded chicken, season salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes if desired. A little parmesan goes a long way too :)
