Macaroni Chicken Soup

Macaroni chicken soup is a delightful food when it’s cold or when there is a heavy rainfall. The hot, creamy soup is just irresistible to eat.

What I love about this dish, macaroni chicken soup is that, it’s so easy to prepare and the ingredients can always be available. I call it macaroni chicken soup simply because, chicken is the main flavor of this soup. Sometimes, I also put beef (macaroni beef soup) instead of chicken or pork if it is the one available or hotdog or sausage tidbits if there are no available meats in the fridge. 🙂
