What Type of Pasta Should I Use in Sicilian Chicken Soup?

I love using small pasta for this recipe. Tiny shells, macaroni, or even alphabet-shaped pasta. It’s fun, and it cooks quickly too! If you’re using longer pasta like penne or fusilli, make sure to break it into smaller pieces.

We like it as it is. With pasta and veggies, it’s more than enough to keep us happy. Yea, simple (or call us lazy) people.

Sicilian Soup Variations

Soups are generally pretty versatile. Give your soup pot whatever you like, and it’ll gift you something tasty in return.

You can tweak this recipe by replacing the chicken with beef or pork. If you’re a seafood lover, go for some mussels and crab sticks. I’ve also seen people add a can of chickpeas to the mix or maybe a few tablespoons of olives. It’s all about what your taste buds like.

Can I Make the Soup Ahead?

Yes, you can! Make it a day before and put it in your fridge. You can even freeze it for up to one month if you want. It really is a keeper, don’t you think?

When you’re ready to serve it, bring it to a boil. I let it simmer for a bit, so my pasta is soft again. Please use an airtight container for maximum freshness.

Is There a Way to Thicken the Soup?

No problem, I’ve gotcha. If you want a thicker soup, cornstarch can help.

it with some cold water. Then, slowly pour the mixture into your soup and let it simmer. Do it till you get the thickness you want. I’d suggest you keep it minimum. You already have too many ingredients in the pot. Everything will go perfectly well with a liquidy soup.
