Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped celery, and sliced carrots. Cook while stirring until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Pour the bone broth or chicken broth into the pot and add the bay leaves. Stir well, cover, and bring the soup to a low boil.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the dry pasta, frozen mixed vegetables, and cubed rotisserie chicken. Simmer for about 7 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
Stir in the fresh thyme, rosemary, turmeric, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt if needed before serving.

Notes

You can substitute any small pasta such as elbow macaroni or small shells if ditalini is not available.
For a stronger herbal flavor, add extra thyme or rosemary to taste.
If using dried turmeric instead of fresh, reduce the amount to 1/2 tsp.
This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
The pasta may absorb broth over time, so add extra broth when reheating if needed.
