"Quick, tasty and healthy. Leave garlic cloves whole and it will melt nicely into the soup. Sprinkle grated Romano cheese on top to make it more delicious. Adding pasta to this soup makes it extra hearty and I strongly recommend storing leftover farfalle separately from the soup (as it tends to absorb all the liquid and get very soggy). This is my good friend Maxine's recipe and man can she cook!"

Great soup. I skipped the pasta as I was feeling like having something light and this really hit the spot. Thank you.

Very good and easy to make. Stores nicely in fridge for a few days. Keep pasta seperate as the recipe indicates. enjoy!

Excellent soup! I didn't have farfalle pasta so I used macaroni. Easy to make too! DH said I could make this again. :)

This was great! I made some changes though. I didn't have any carrots on hand unfortunately or chicken stock. I added chicken boullion to 6 cups of water instead and also added 1 1/2 tsp of italian seasoning. Thanks

I was born and raised in Boston and continue to live here still. I met my hubby in 1986 and we've been together ever since. We have two children and my family is my passion. Pet peeves? Rudeness, laziness, greed, hatred, and bad manners of any kind. And for some reason, I can't stand listening to someone whistle!
