Like most people, I just love having a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup. It’s probably one of the easiest soup to cook. It takes a bit of time; but, I usually make the effort. I think nothing beats delicious, healthy homemade soup. Right? On that note, I hope I can encourage you to try cooking this hearty soup at home. I am sure you will enjoy it! For the main ingredient, do try to opt for organic/free range chicken, if possible. They are much tastier than the regular chicken, in my opinion. As for the pasta, you can use any variety or shapes of your choice. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI always seem to end up on your blog, via Tastespotting. Just wanted to tell you how much I love your site. The photos are gorgeous, and the recipes are divine! For this past Mother's Day, I cooked for my mom the steamed clams and mussels and the chocolate tart. They came out great and she and I both loved the dishes! Thank you, and keep up the great work!
