Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes Chicken Soup Base (10 cups broth and 4 cups shredded chicken) 3/4 cup small pasta shells 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds 1 Parmesan rind, plus grated Parmesan (optional) 1 bunch kale (preferably Tuscan; 3/4 pound), tough stems and ribs removed, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces (4 cups) 1 medium zucchini, diced medium 1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juice and cook until liquid is evaporated, 4 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add pasta, carrots, and Parmesan rind, if using, and cook 5 minutes. Add kale, zucchini, and chickpeas and cook until zucchini is crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove rind before serving. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
