Spaghetti Soup ~ Southernized
Jan 18th, 2008 by Sylvia
My good friend Karen shared a recipe for Spaghetti Soup on the T2CHK Message Board. It is a delightful, fresh tasting soup! She may have shared it on her blog, so run go see!
We have had Spaghetti Soup several times and I felt it was time to “Southernize” it a bit. So here is my version of Spaghetti Soup
Southernized Spaghetti Soup
4 cups water
2 envelopes of Lipton or Campbells Chicken noodle soup OR use 4 cups of homemade chicken broth and omit the water and soup mix.
1 can diced tomatoes
Bring to a boil and add:
1 handful of broken spaghetti or other pasta. If you are not using the soup mix, increase this to two handfuls.
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp italian seasoning or use 1/4 tsp each oregano, thyme and fennel
1 T dry parsley or 2 T fresh, chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder ( don’t use garlic salt if you use the soup mix! )
salt to taste
Cook til the noodles are tender
When its done, ladle it into bowls and grate fresh parmesan cheese over it! YUM! Thank you Karen!
And here it is………….
I like your changes Sylvia!! Robin and I have enjoyed giving it a mexican twist with less pasta and adding pinto beans or black beans, salsa, cheeses and sour cream. It really is a basic soup you can throw just about anything in!
Have a great (and hopefully restful) weekend! Love, Karen T.
