Nicky’s Notes
I make so many batches of this soup throughout Winter!
It’s so cozy and filling – simply satisfying sufficient for dinner. Afterall, we’ve pasta and potato in there, and if you happen to serve it with some pretty buttered toast, that’s 3-carb heaven proper there!!
Additionally:
- It tastes such as you spent hours over long-simmering rooster broth – when actually this soup cooks in about 35 minutes.
- We use rotisserie rooster – an awesome shortcut whenever you’re quick on time.
- The truth that we’re making it creamy means it doesn’t matter if you happen to use inventory produced from water and inventory cubes. It would nonetheless style healthful and flavourful!

I like to make use of Mafalda corta pasta (I purchase it from Sainsburys)- which is a flattened ribbon form pasta with ruffled edges. Because it has a pleasant chunk and the same look to USA-style noodles.
