Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the oil and sweat the onions, carrots and celery for 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften. Add the herbs de Provence, salt, pepper and tomato paste and sauté for another few minutes to toast the tomato paste.

Add the chicken stock and tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Settle the chicken pieces into the soup, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them cool for a few minutes and then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the corn, green beans, zucchini, turnip and dried pasta. Simmer over low heat for another 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how tender you want your vegetables.

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the fresh parsley just before serving.
