chicken cacciatore soup

Who says you can’t turn your favorite Italian dishes into soups. Well, in 2015 my ‘chicken marsala soup’ was my #1 searched recipe! Yes, it’s that good. Then I did a ‘chicken piccata soup’ and it rocked my charts.

So what soup is debuting now? Chicken cacciatore soup! In Italian ‘cacciatore’ means hunter, so this soup is considered a ‘hunter-style’ soup with herbs, tomatoes, onions and the pasta of your choice. Just make it a small bite-size pasta preferably.

Like a lot of soups, stews and sauces, this soup is better on day two, but believe me, you may not have any leftover. So think about doubling the recipe and freezing half.

It’s a simple one-pot wonder. Warms the belly on a chilly Fall or Winter day. And, if you’re thinking of summertime, go ahead and serve because it’s perfect for al fresco dining!
