Next, add the bone-in chicken back into the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and allow the chicken to finish cooking. May take 30-35 minutes. Remove the chicken. Once it’s cool, dice or shred it into small bites ensuring to discard the bones.
Stir in the shredded chicken, add the pasta and cook until tender. 7-8 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat, stir in the fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh parsley and dill. Serve hot.
