Hearty Tomato Soup With Chicken And Pasta


Comforting any time of year. This soup has a delicious flavor that appeals to adults and kids alike. In the summer, i use my garden tomatoes to make the tomato puree for this soup, which really brings out the flavors. The combination of the dried and fresh herbs is the most flavorful, but all dried herbs could be used if fresh herbs are not available. Great for a meal with sandwiches or a cobb salad.
