In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring broth, tomatoes with their juice, vegetables and oregano to a boil over medium heat, breaking up vegetables with a spoon to separate as they cook. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Increase heat to high so soup returns to a boil. Gradually stir in pasta, keeping broth at a boil. Cook over medium heat until pasta is almost but not quite tender, about 3 minutes. Add chicken breasts and continue cooking until both chicken and pasta are cooked, about 3 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve soup hot.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
