Carrabba's Spicy Sicilian Chicken Soup (Aka: Mama Mandola's Chicken Soup)

olive oil

celery

carrots

onion

red bell pepper ((diced))

chicken breast

garlic

potato

tomatoes ((14.5 ounce))

parsley

oregano

red pepper flakes ((omit

black pepper

salt

water

chicken broth

ditalini pasta

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add in the olive oil, celery, carrots, onion, bell pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the vegetables just start to soften.

Add in the: chicken breast (I like to cut mine in half to make shredding easier), garlic, potatoes, can of tomatoes, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, water, and chicken broth. Bring this to a full boil for about a minute then lower to a low simmer for 45 minutes - covered.

After the 45 minutes, pull out the cooked chicken and shred. You can just pull it apart using 2 forks. Add the chicken back to the pot along with your pasta and bring to a full boil again. Cook for the amount of time needed for your pasta. (Ditalini is typically about 10 minutes)

We like to serve our soup with a little extra parsley on top and a few pieces of bread for dipping.

We love to make this super easy focaccia bread to go with this soup!

Love this soup, but a gentle suggestion. The cook time is misleading. 45 minutes (excluding prep) but it has to saute 10, then bring to a boil, then cook 45, then cook 10 min with pasta so it’s really more like 75 min cook time. Just giving an fyi to busy moms!

Subbed the potato for zucchini added with the ditalini. Yum!

Great website, thanks for the great recipes... I'll use them again in the future ;-) THANK YOU !!! Greetings from Germany

This was absolutely amazing, my family and friends have been asking me to make over and over.

Such a fantastic recipe.  It tastes just like the restaurant version, but with more ingredients.  Sooo good! We like it spicy so I used 3/4 tsp of red crushed pepper, a couple more cloves of garlic too,  it was perfect for us.  THANK YOU!!

Do you cook the chicken before adding to the pot or do you add it raw and let it boil to cook?

Although this version looks delicious and I will definitely try it when I’m in the mood for pasta. I ate at this restaurant a week ago this soup had no pasta in it it had chopped cabbage and white cannoli beans but everything else looks the same in the recipe probably delicious either way

I just had the Sicilian Chicken soup at Carrabba’s this week, so it was still fresh in my memory. This is an excellent recipe, and tasted the same. I was tired of my traditional chicken noodle, and love all the herbs and some heat in this from the red pepper.

This is a great-looking copycat, and I bet it is delicious! I love how hearty and comforting it looks.

You can't beat a homemade spicy soup that is packed with full of flavours and textures. Perfect for  cold nights.
