Pro tip: Use 1-inch cookie cutters for a fun kid activity that encourages them to eat their veggies! The recipe uses about 2 cups of cut vegetables; uses scraps for another recipe (soups, stews or salads are best) or freeze for later use.
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini, ends trimmed
- 4 medium radishes
- 2 thick carrots, peeled
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and core removed

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
Directions
- Cut washed zucchini, radishes, and carrots lengthwise into ¼-inch slices. (Use only green outer skins of zucchini). Cut the pepper into 4 quarters.
- Press cutters into the vegetables to stamp out shapes.

- Reduce the heat and add the vegetables. Cook 2 minutes and season broth to taste with salt and pepper.
- Skim off the vegetables and set aside.
- Divide the chicken and pasta evenly among the bowls
