Small pasta often overcooks in soup, making the dish less appetizing. This recipe suggests boiling small pasta (such as orzo or star pasta) separately and adding it to the soup just before serving. You can even make this soup without the pasta ahead of time and freeze it. It also includes sautéed onions, carrots, and celery, spices, and cooked chicken—all cooked in store-bought or homemade chicken broth, if desired. For a richer flavor, use baked or grilled chicken. Leftovers from last night's dinner are perfect.
