almost marly's chicken soup
Over 30 years ago,a fellow nursing student and good friend & I used to share lunch,this is one of my favorite lunch she would bring. I never thought to ask for the recipe(we had big plans to always be friends) but this is my version of the soup as I remember it.It's very close and my family & I enjoy it. Unfortunately after graduation,we lost touch and I've never heard from Marly again.
