• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

-what to do-

1. First cook, drain and cool your pasta. Use any small shape here. Set aside.
2. In a large stock pot over medium heat, add in your olive oil and butter, onions and shallots and cook until soft about 10 minutes.
3. Next add in your celery and carrots, cook another 10 minutes.
4. Next add in your fresh garlic, all seasonings and rosemary and thyme, cooking for an additional 5 minutes stirring frequently.
5. Next add in your chicken stock, cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer covered, for 30 minutes.
6. Next add in your kale, celery leaves and cooked shredded chicken stirring well. Cook for another 5-10 minutes to heat chicken through.
7. Lastly add in the parsley and turn off your heat.
8. Grab a bowl, add in your pasta, about 1/2 cup cooked, and ladle on top your chicken soup! If you add the pasta to the soup it will soak up the liquid so this is best kept separate and added when serving, to each bowl.
9. Serve with a little fresh grated Parmesan and a side of buttered rye toast and Enjoy!!!!!
