    This chicken and pasta soup is comforting, simple to make and delicious. Serve it with avocado and lime wedges on the side.

    I have been sick all week with a bad cold and cough. Whenever I am sick I miss my mom’s chicken noodle soup, but since she is not here to make it for me, I had to make it for myself. What’s better than a warm bowl of chicken soup when it’s cold outside and you don’t feel good? Nothing, 🙂 This sopa de pollo y pasta was absolutely delicious.

      I have been making simple chicken noodle soup for weeks now but I must try this next time. I love the idea of adding lime and avocado at the end--two of my very favorite garnishes. Then again, I think they go with pretty much everything.

      What yummy looking soup, I hope it did the trick and you are feeling better. Not sure what the weather is like where you are, but it is cold and damp here, the kind of weather where chicken soup is a must!

      I'm sorry you've been sick! It has been so cold lately even here in CA and I've been craving soup every night too! Your chicken noodle soup looks so beautiful! I still haven't made homemade chicken noodle soup - I know, I'm lame! I will have to save the recipe so I can make it one night. 🙂 Feel better soon!

      Nothing like chicken soup to help clear a cold or make the flu feel better. Hope you are 100% again very soon. This looks delicious, and slightly different to how we make it. Interesting recipe.

      Greetings from Spain and Feliz Año Nuevo
      This is much like Sopa Picadillo that we have here, which uses fideo (angel hair pasta,) a chopped hard-boiled egg and either pieces of cooked chicken or pieces of jamon iberico (Iberian ham). The starch may be replaced (according to taste) by pieces of boiled potato or large croutons. It is my first choice as a starter when eating out as is arroz con leche as a dessert.
