Chicken Bowtie Soup
Now that fall weather has arrived, I love the smell of homemade soup cooking on the stove. My Chicken Bowtie Soup is a hearty, flavorful soup filled with chicken and noodles. Chicken noodle soup has been a home remedy for helping with cold symptoms since I was a child. Soup is said to "warm your soul." I use leftover chicken and packaged chicken broth to make this soup more quickly and easily. I think the bowtie noodles add to it's appeal. Happy Cooking!
