Country Chicken Vegetable Soup

This recipe has been in my recipe box for a very long time. At least 34 years. I found the recipe in a box of Ronzoni Ditalini pasta.

Ingredients-

1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1/2" pieces

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large carrot, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 46 oz can chicken broth

1 cup water

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp pepper

1 cup Ronzoni Ditalini

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

2 tsp chopped parsley

Method-

Cook the chicken in hot oil until lightly browned; remove from pan.

Place the carrot and onion in the pan, stir, and cook until tender but not browned.

Add broth, water, nutmeg, and pepper.

Bring to a boil.

Stir in pasta.

Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add remaining ingredients and chicken.

Simmer for about 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
