Notes

Feel free to swap the pasta with a whole grain variety or a gluten-free option. If using raw chicken, ensure it is fully cooked before adding to the soup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on low heat, adding broth or cream as needed.
