In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to medium high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, and celery, then saute until onions are translucent. Add garlic, poultry seasoning and bay leaf, then saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, and bring to boil; cover, and reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 15 minutes. Add chicken cubes and continue simmering, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, cook the mini-penne according to package directions, then drain.
Toss bay leaf once chicken/vegetable soup has finished cooking. Add parsley; stirring to combine.
To serve, place pasta in equal amounts into 4 soup bowls, ladle chicken and vegetable broth on top, with slices of warm cornbread alongside. ~ Enjoy!

Tip: If you have leftovers, store pasta separate in a ziploc bag (from the chicken/vegetable broth) otherwise the pasta tends to lose its integrity if you refrigerate them together.
