{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Curly Noodle Chicken Soup Recipe

 

Curly Noodle Chicken Soup Recipe


I created this recipe for a dinner I hosted for a group of friends. The main course was Italian, and I needed a good soup, so I converted a favorite tortilla soup recipe by substituting pasta and adding different seasonings. —Maxine Pierson, San Ramon, California
