In a large soup pot, combine chicken thighs, onions, celery, carrots, yellow bell pepper, potatoes, garlic, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt.
Add chicken stock and water; season with black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 30 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Remove the chicken using tongs; add ditalini pasta to the pot and cook for another 13–15 minutes until tender.
