| 1. In a large stockpot (16 quart minimum / 20 quart recommended) heat olive oil under fairly low to medium heat. | 2. "Sweat" onion, celery, green pepper and some salt (to draw off moisture) for perhaps 30 minutes -- this is lower than browning, and makes the veggies somewhat translucent. I covered, and mixed every few minutes to prevent browning. | 3. Add carrots, garlic, some white pepper and some black pepper, and continue to heat under "sweat" conditions while mixing now and then. | 4. Add chicken stock, chicken breasts, tomatoes and potatoes -- and of course some more white pepper and black pepper. | 5. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours (or use crock pot?). | 6. Remove chicken and let cool and stand to shred. | 7. Add chopped parsley and return the shredded chicken to the soup. | 8. Salt to taste at this point, and add more white and black pepper if your tongue is not twitching a bit when you sample. ;-). | 9. Simmer while cooking ditalini (or other stubby pasta). | 10. Serve soup over cooked pasta to taste. | 11. Note: Like many soups, this may be better made the day before and then served when needed. We will freeze some for ready-made meals and I think it will work out well. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
