Awesome Soup #15 Chicken Minestrone Soup



Chicken Minestrone Soup

When you hear that Mike gave this soup a 10, you will know this was an excellent soup. It was a perfect soup with lots of interesting flavors. It obviously had chicken in it, but the chicken had the added flavor from all the different veggies and herbs . I had seen the large amount Mike was cooking in the pan but he said he had made it to serve just two people and it did that with just a very small amount left over.
I just knew it had a LOT of veggies and chicken in it. If fact most of the lunch I spent guessing at just which ones they were in this soup. I guessed zucchini, carrots, peas , basil, noodles . I knew also it had rosemary as I was sent out to pick some from the garden . I knew it had potatoes as I had burnt my mouth on a piece of very hot potato. I missed the celery and Parmesan cheese. It was indeed a very tasty and hot soup with lots of good taste in a thinnish broth just as I like it. I gave it a 9.8 but only because I was mad that I had burnt my mouth . Mike thinks that's a bit unfair as it was really my fault.
The recipe calls for Italian crusty bread to eat with the soup but I had been out all morning shopping so had no time to make that so instead I made some quick peach muffins which actually didn't really go with this soup but were rather like a desert. They were good anyhow but a bit lacking in peaches.



This is definitely a soup we can recommend and will no doubt have again.
PS. Remember we like to share our soup days with company so if you would like to come just let us know.And yes, Ruth, you can come more than once !!!
