Ingredients

2 tsp salted butter
1 large uncooked onion, finely chopped
1½ tsp table salt, divided
64 oz reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 oz uncooked pasta, small shape such as ditalini (about 1 cup)
10 oz frozen mixed vegetables, such as peas, carrots, corn and green beans
15 oz canned tomatoes, petite cut, rinsed and drained
6 oz cooked skinless boneless chicken breasts, chopped
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup chives, fresh, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add the broth and increase the heat to high; bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta, frozen vegetables, and tomatoes; cook until the pasta is done, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the chicken, cheese, lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and chives; cook for 1 more minute to heat through.
