There different tips and tricks of making This soup that is the Italian equivalent to the classic sarda Chicken Noodle Soup recipes; it's a warm and comforting dish perfect for a cold winter's day. For those who have never tried fregola before, this soup is the ideal introduction. I had the opportunity to sample Chicken Soup with Fregola while I was in Italy. I stayed in Abruzzo, which is well-known around the world for the delicacy of its pasta dinners. I've searched far and low for the secret ingredient—fregola—in this soup, but I've never been able to find it. After a tough day of climbing in Majella National Park, the sight of a large pot of soup waiting for us at our modest agrotourism café was very much appreciated. My loved ones and I now do this every year during the spring and summer seasons. If you give this simple recipe a couple of tries and follow it to a T, you will have the finest chicken soup ever.
The fregola provides both a delightful flavor and a mouthwateringly pleasing texture to the soup. The chicken adds a great and rich flavor to the soup, making it even more delicious. It's a hearty soup that keeps on giving, keeping you warm and content hours after you've finished eating it. It is not necessary to offer bread with the enormous fregola because the soup completely coats it. Even though it's called "winter" soup, you can enjoy it any time of year.

- Mix in a tablespoon and a half of olive oil.
- (Two) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs.
- 1 medium green onion (chopped after being peeled) (chopped after being peeled)
- The same amount of chopped celery as in one stick.
- Finely diced onion 1 chopped red pepper (capsicum)
- A couple of garlic cloves, prepped by peeling and slicing.
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- A single, compact bunch of curly parsley.
- One-fourth cup of sardine-stuffed fregola
- You can season to taste with salt and pepper.
- An equal amount of whipped topping, half a cup
Olive oil should be heated over medium heat in a big skillet. Chicken thighs should be cooked for about five minutes, or until they are a golden brown color on all sides. Add the chopped onion, celery, red pepper, and garlic to the pan, and continue cooking until the vegetables have become more tender approximately 5 minutes.
Mix in about 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley (leaves and stems) and oregano, then return the chicken to the pan. To taste, add approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper. Around a quart and a half of water should be added to the mixture. You should increase the heat until the soup boils, and then decrease it to keep it at a steady boil. The chicken has to cook at a low simmer for an hour. The chicken should be transferred to a cooling rack once it has been taken out of the oven. Fregola should be added to the soup and heated for the full two minutes recommended on the package. With your fingers or two forks, remove the chicken meat from the bones and add it to the soup. The skeletons should not be thrown into the compost bin. Once you've added the cream, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for two minutes. When you've ensured that the seasoning is perfect, you may call it a day.
If you have the time, let the fregola sit covered for 30 minutes before eating so that it can absorb as much water as possible; otherwise, go ahead and eat it as is. As a final touch, sprinkle in some chopped parsley and, if you have any Parmigiano-Reggiano on hand, grate some of it over the topFregola Sarda and spinach wedding soup from ItalyThis Recipe Was Created Right Here in Our Test Kitchen This Italian-American eatery isn't called "The Party Look" for nothing.
