New Favorite Soup!

I have discovered a love for this soup: Italian Chicken Soup

It is perfect- soupy, but hearty with the noodles and chicken and veggies. I particularly love that it has jalapenos in it because it gives it a tiny kick, but not too overpowering. We put parmesan cheese over the top, and mixed it all in so it was delicious and cheesy! Also, I just used half and half instead of cream, and I used canned diced tomatoes instead of whole ones. I love the little round pastas (I just found a small macaroni noodle pasta that wasn't curvy like normal macaroni).

Anyway, here is the recipe and her picture (I didn't take a picture of mine :( but it looked just like hers!)
