This chicken and vegetable spaghetti soup is just what you need on a cold, grey day! It’s warmth and colour is perfect to lift one’s spirits.
It seemed only a short while ago that the trees in our backyard were once again renewed with life after the bare winter months. Now it seems as if they are going to be bereft of any very soon. But that’s autumn; doing away the old to make way for the new! At such times, with the weather not brightening things up, a bowl of nice hot soup goes a long way in recreating some of the warmth, that one craves for. Sitting round the table with your loved ones, ladling hot soup into bowls and enjoying them, does seem to spread that warm glow around.
Personally, I’ve always found a bowl of soup very nourishing and invigorating. We have had this chicken and vegetable spaghetti soup on many a chilly night. It is very simple to assemble and has a lot of vegetables thrown in; in fact one can add as many as one wants. Apart from the health factor, it also adds to the attraction with all their natural colour, especially if you have young ones. The soup has very subtle flavours which allows those of the other ingredients to retain their own. It fills you up without leaving you feeling heavy. All in all, we love it; such dishes makes one reflect on how the simple, subtle flavours can spread so much joy around.
