class=\"section-description\"><ul>\n<li><strong>Use good chicken broth:<\/strong> The broth is everything in this recipe, so pick a low sodium one with real flavor. If you&rsquo;ve got homemade broth, even better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thighs or breasts both work:<\/strong> Chicken thighs give a richer flavor, but chicken breasts will also work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t skip the blend:<\/strong> Blending part of the soup makes the broth silky and thick without adding cream. It&rsquo;s the secret that gives it that Italian style richness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the pasta at the end:<\/strong> If you cook it too early, it&rsquo;ll soak up all the broth. I add mine right after blending so it stays perfectly al dente.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use fresh lemon and Parmesan:<\/strong> Bottled lemon juice and pre-grated cheese don&rsquo;t have the same brightness or melt. Fresh ingredients make a huge difference here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taste before serving:<\/strong> Broths vary, so adjust your salt, pepper, and lemon right at the end.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885817845\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use leftover chicken?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! If you&rsquo;ve got leftover roast or rotisserie chicken, skip the simmering step and add it after blending the soup. Warm it through gently before serving.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885865439\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I have to blend the vegetables?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You don&rsquo;t <em>have<\/em> to, but that&rsquo;s what gives the soup its creamy, velvety texture without using cream. It&rsquo;s the step that makes this version taste Italian rather than plain chicken noodle.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885886381\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use a different pasta?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely. Orzo, small shells, elbow macaroni, or even broken spaghetti all work fine. Just make sure to cook it right in the broth so it absorbs all that flavor.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885899925\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this soup ahead?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. It tastes even better the next day. Just keep the pasta a little undercooked if you&rsquo;re making it ahead so it doesn&rsquo;t get too soft.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885915109\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does it freeze well?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It does, but for best results, freeze it before adding the pasta. When you reheat, add fresh pasta straight into the hot broth until tender.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885928805\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make it vegetarian?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can. Swap the chicken for cannellini beans and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It still has great flavor and plenty of protein.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762885945128\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What if I don&rsquo;t have spinach?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Kale, escarole, or even Swiss chard work beautifully. Anything leafy that wilts nicely in hot broth will do the trick.<\/p> <\/details> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20.jpg\" alt=\"A ladle scooping Italian Penicillin Soup from a white pot showing ditalini pasta, shredded chicken, spinach, and carrots in broth.\" class=\"wp-image-97826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-730x913.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-177x221.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/italian-penicillin-soup-1-20.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-soup-recipes-to-try\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Soup_Recipes_To_Try\"><\/span>More Soup Recipes To Try<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/instant-pot-pasta-e-fagioli\/\">Instant Pot Pasta e Fagioli<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/italian-meatball-soup\/\">Italian Meatball Soup<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/vegetable-tortellini-soup\/\">Vegetable Tortellini Soup<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/zuppa-toscana\/\">Zuppa Toscana<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/instant-pot-creamy-potato-sausage-soup\/\">Instant Pot Creamy Potato Sausage Soup<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"oc-recipe-container\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-97655\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"97655\" data-servings=\"6\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-custom-recipe-card-by-once-coupled---no-cook-mode\"><div class=\"card-before recipe-before\"><div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"featured-content location-fwc-content location-fwc-content block-tip-box style-tip location-recipe-before\" id=\"block_154e9a87acadfa327971dbcafab1fef5\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t<div class=\"section-description\"><p><strong>Before You Begin!<\/strong> If you make this, please <a href=\"#respond\">leave a review and rating<\/a> letting us know how you liked this recipe!

It&rsquo;s the heart of this soup, so pick one with great flavor or <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/instant-pot-chicken-stock\/\">make your own<\/a> if you can.<\/li>\n<li>I love using chicken thighs because they give the soup more flavor, but chicken breasts work too. Leftover or rotisserie chicken is totally fine here.<\/li>\n<li>Ditalini is my favorite because it holds its shape, but orzo or small shells will do just fine. Cook it right in the soup so it soaks up all that flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Blending the soup is what&nbsp;gives the broth that creamy, velvety texture without adding any cream. It&rsquo;s easy and makes the biggest difference.<\/li>\n<li>Always use fresh lemon juice. It brightens everything up and balances the richness of the Parmesan.<\/li>\n<li>Freshly grated Parmesan melts beautifully and gives the soup that delicious salty finish. The pre-grated kind just doesn&rsquo;t do the same job.<\/li>\n<li>Spinach is quick and easy, but kale or escarole are great too. Add them right before serving so they stay bright and tender.<\/li>\n<li>Keeps in the fridge for about 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of extra broth since the pasta will thicken it up a bit.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to freeze it, leave the pasta out and add it fresh when reheating. The soup base freezes beautifully.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<div id=\"recipe-97655-nutrition\" class=\"wprm-nutrition-label-shortcode-container\"><h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header
