Who else has the best memories of this soup? I’m guessing most of you had the Campbell’s version like I did when I was little. Too replicate this childhood favorite, I used Stelline Pasta and chopped the fresh onion, carrots & celery really small. I did the same with the chicken breasts. This nostalgic soup was a big hit with the fam!
