Morgan’s Italian Soup
Morgan's Italian soup
My husband often raves about my food. Sometimes, we are able to package extra's up and send them to his coworkers for lunch. This particular lunch, his coworker RAVED over. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So how could I not name it after him? It's like great pasta, in a creamy, soupy form. Comfort food, cold weather food, coworker approved food. Thank you Morgan, for loving my recipes and giving this soup a name!

Recipe Notes
For thinner soup, add more chicken stock if desired at end of cooking process.
Leftovers: Soup will be thickened the next day, more like a casserole. You can eat it this way, and still amazing. But if you'd like it in it's original soup state, when reheating, add more chicken stock unitil you've reached desired thinness.
