Chicken Macaroni Soup

Chicken Macaroni Soup is a hearty soup that I don’t mind having every week. I remember my grandma making this soup using vegetables she harvested from her garden. It’s easy to make, and you probably have these ingredients already in your pantry and refrigerator to make this recipe. A simple dish but very flavorful.
