Notes: Rory requested a recipe for Chicken Soup, so here is her Nana and Papa's favorite! Papa usually cooks it as a main course with plenty of shredded chicken. Papa made the recipe for Rory to taste during Spring Break in Berkeley; she loved it! (Nana and Papa like to chop jalapeņo chilis into our bowls to make it extra spicy.)
