This tasted amazing especially with all the colds going through our house! Just what we needed. I loved it as did our 18 month old – and so easy to make! Have everything out to make another batch tonight!

This was absolutely delicious. I didn’t think my 21 month old would enjoy it as much as he did. It just tastes like comfort. A big hug. I’m obsessed. I proportioned the leftovers and froze them. I’m curious to see how they thaw!

Doubled the recipe, used orzo, added a rotisserie chicken, a few bay leaves and reduced the parm by half since that’s all I had on hand. Also sauteed the carrots & celery while I deboned the chicken so they cooked a bit longer than listed. This soup was terrific and the house full of sick people loved it!

This was perfect for today! My 3 year old woke up with a stomach bug this morning and I didn’t have much for groceries. This recipe was easy to make from pantry and produce staples that I had. Luckily, I had some orzo to sub for pastini. Since he is used to more complex flavors (and because I was going to be eating it for lunch too), I added minced garlic, ginger and turmeric.

I’m starting to get sick right before Thanksgiving! I made this soup this afternoon as an early dinner for me and the the kids. They loved it and went back for seconds. I skipped the lemon zest. It’s so yummy! Total comfort soup. Thank you!

In reply to Andrea Dalton Minnick. Oh good! Yes, you can freeze it though you'll want to add more broth when reheating as it will absorb most of it.

So delicious for a rainy day!

Amy, does this freeze well?

Thank you for a great recipe!

I make this soup weekly. To be honest, I know this is a website for toddler food but I have made many recipes for myself for easy, simple and good meals.
