I made this soup for a large family gathering and everyone loved it. Substitute cooked boneless chicken breasts for the rotisserie chicken. Leave out the macaroni for a healthier option. The potatoes provide plenty of starch and they will thicken the soup the second day. A very versatile recipe. I got a lot more than 6 servings too!

I thought this was a really good soup. I didn't use the stock, I used Better than Bullion and followed the stock instructions and it turned out great. Next time I might just boil a whole chicken because that much broth is expensive and the rotisserie chicken I got was was almost $7 which I think is a lot for a chicken, so I can kill two birds with one stone..lol. But very good soup. Thank you for sharing.
