Another weekend, another soup! I’m really loving on this cooler weather and it shows with all the soup I’ve been cooking recently. And of course, today’s is no exception! It’s a slightly upgraded version of chicken noodle soup and it’s so delicious!
Typical chicken noodle soup uses a yellow or white onion but leeks give it a sweeter oniony flavor that I just adore! Using cooked leftover pasta also is an easy way to get this soup on the table faster and use up extras laying around the house. It’s a real win-win!
