Texas Chicken Soup

Teresa Ambra

Texas Chicken Soup is a delightful recipe. It’s a take-off on Chicken Noodle soup but with sea shell pasta instead of regular noodles. It also has a little hot sauce to spice it up and give it Texas-sized flavor! It’s really wonderful.

I found this recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook featuring turkey instead of chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken I wanted to use up so I tried this recipe with it. It was amazing. I served it with biscuits and French bread which set it off wonderfully. Overall, you’ll find this one of the easiest soup recipes ever.

Texas Chicken Soup is perfect for dinner or lunches now that the weather is cooler. You’ll find this tasty and delicious soup fantastic comfort food, that’s hearty and filling. It’s especially good if you’re a soup lover and need something to warm you up in the evenings. 🙂

    This recipe turned out better than I expected, and super quick, too. I’ll definitely be having this again on an evening when I am short on time for cooking.

      It is a really quick and easy recipe. Plus it tastes wonderfully. Can’t beat that combination.

    Since I didn’t have any broth on hand, I also added 3 bouillon cubes and the equivalent amount of water. This was excellent. It undoubtedly had a little kick to it. I topped the cornbread with cilantro and served it with it. Thank you for the delicious post!

      Oh I bet cornbread with cilantro made this meal so mouthwatering. Yes, bouillon with water will work. I try not to use it too much because of all the additives. But it does work as a replacement.
