Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 12 large zucchini, julienned (sliced into matchsticks)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
  • 46 ounces chicken stock (1 can, 1 box)
  • 12 cup pino grigio wine (or other white wine if you prefer)
  • 14 teaspoon black pepper
  • 14 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 14 teaspoon ground rosemary (or thyme, if you can't get ground rosemary)
  • 1 inch bunch spaghetti noodles, broken into 1-2 inch sections

Method

  • 1.
  • Boil and drain the spaghetti noodles per directions, set aside.
  • 2.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic, salt, and zucchini to a medium sauce pan and sweat until fragrant and the zucchini begins to look cooked.
  • (Be careful not to overcook the zucchini or it will fall apart in the soup).
  • Set aside.
  • 3.
  • Add the Pinot Grigio to the medium sauce pan, scrape the drippings, and flambe (set on fire).
  • You're burning off the alcohol here, so it's a pretty important step.
  • 4.
  • In a soup pot combine all the ingredients and heat to serving temperature.
  • Enjoy.
  • Tip #1: Don't be scared of the canned bamboo, the chicken and Pinot blend well with it's flavor and everything compliments well.
  • IF, however, you're more traditional replace the bamboo with 1-2 chopped celery stalks.
  • Tip #2: How often do you actually get to start something on fire?
  • It looks flashy and is harmless if not done under a window curtain, so don't be afraid of the step.
