This recipe is a meal in itself, but it can also be an excellent starter for a special dinner.\u00a0 There are so many versions of this recipe but I really like Giada’s in her “Giada’s Family Dinners”<\/em> cookbook.\u00a0 When you serve this keep a copy of the recipes… you will be asked.\u00a0 Using homemade chicken broth really makes a difference.\u00a0 This is a great soup to drop off for a sick friend!\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
