Sherry Chicken Soup
This is my new favorite chicken soup. It produces such rich flavor you will love it, too! I served it deconstructed because my kids are picky! One hates carrots, one hates chicken! This made it nice and easy to customize everyone’s bowl of soup! I also made orecchiette but feel free to use any noodles or pasta shapes your family loves. For the broth I love to use Trader Joe’s Free Range Organic Broth. It is beyond delish!
*Note: This time I did not have a whole chicken so I used 2 split breasts and 4 bone in thighs and it was fabulous!
