Comforting Chicken Macaroni Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dry macaroni pasta

• 2 chicken breasts, diced

• 6 cups chicken stock

• 1 carrot, diced

• 1 celery stalk, diced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 bay leaf

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

4. Pour the chicken broth into the pot, and add the bay leaf. Bring the broth to a gentle boil.

5. Once the broth is boiling, add the dry macaroni pasta to the pot. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Once the macaroni is cooked, taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Remove the bay leaf from the pot.

7. Stir in the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and let the soup simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

8. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

9. Once the soup is heated through and seasoned to your liking, remove it from the heat.

10. Ladle the chicken macaroni soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
