Old Fashioned Chicken and Stars Soup
Here’s a childhood recipe from my mom Ruthie. A classic that will be enjoyed by any generation. Old Fashioned Chicken and Stars Soup is warming and delectable. Try this simple recipe and share with the ones you love like my mom did with me and now, I’m sharing with my kids. Sit down, grab a big piece of bread and enjoy!
Growing up my mom would open a can of chicken and stars soup when we were sick and were home from school.
That was her special treat when we were feeling bad. Years after that, she started making the soup from scratch.
Once she found the little star pasta, it was an even bigger treat for us knowing this was homemade.
I recently found my mom Ruthie’s recipe. I changed things up a little. She made her own stock. I go the more convenient way and use the cartons of low sodium chicken or veggie stock.
My kids and hubby love my version like I loved my mom Ruthie’s.
She was one special mommy.
This was just one of many of her wonderful recipes.
