DELICIOUS CHICKEN MACARONI and VEGETABLE SOUP | Sopa De Coditos Con Pollo ❤



There are a lot of CHICKEN, MACARONI AND VEGETABLE SOUP recipes out there, but I can almost guarantee you that this is one of the best. My secret is to sear the well seasoned chicken to a golden brown then add freshly ground spices with the remaining seasonings and vegetables. I love chicken soup with pastas, I've made more variations than you'd think possible, but this version is way up on the top of my list. I use carrots, gold potatoes, zucchini, corn and small elbow macaroni to keep my soup on the heartier side and I make it totally complete with a big spoonful of pinto beans on the side. I love to serve this soup with freshly made corn tortillas, and i love to rub butter on them then roll it up with a couple slices of Panela cheese. This soup is so inexpensive to make, but it is fit for a king.
