re: Post your favorite soup recipe

I like a plain Jane chicken noodle soup with a good strong stock, myself, but you could go sort of Italian style like a chicken minestrone with more vegetables. You could also make a roasted chicken and roasted veggie chicken soup.

Adding some fresh ginger takes it to a different level. A Mexican tortilla chicken soup is good.

I don't cook the pasta in the soup unless all of the soup is going to be eaten at once because the pasta gets mushy and soaks up the broth too much when it sits or if you freeze it. I'll freeze the soup without the pasta and add it in when I defrost and heat it.

Vary the pastas like using orzo or pastine.

I made one with highly seasoned chicken meatballs a few times. Just made it up as I went along. I liked it a lot.
