Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 stalks celery, diced small
2 medium carrots, diced medium
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
Salt and pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 ounces vermicelli or angel-hair pasta, broken into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Preparation
In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add celery, carrots, and onion and cook until celery and carrots are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add broth and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. With tongs, remove chicken and chop or shred into bite-size pieces. Add pasta to pot and cook until tender, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. To serve, stir in chicken and dill.
