Macaroni Chicken Soup with step by step photos and video.
Indian Style Macaroni Chicken Soup is a delicious appetizing bowl of soup. Unlike regular Macaroni Soup , it's not filled with veggies and cream . This bowl of soup is having all Indian spices ,which makes it more palatable and utterly delicious.
Even while writing this post , I am salivating for the taste it holds.Loads of fresh mint , used here brings out deliciousness for this soup . Believe me , you cant stop yourself without asking for more and more.
One may feel I am exaggerating more ,but I really loved the taste . Everyone at home ,love this soup .Though ,it is a very good appetizer , I often serve this for weekend brunch.
Unlike other Pasta or macaroni ,here pasta is not cooked separately. Everything is cooked all together in a pressure cooker. As pasta is cooked ,along with chicken not extra cornstarch is added here to get soup consistency. My lil boy has given many names for this soup like Biryani Soup and Pasta Soup, as he gets taste of biryani also and pasta too . I really didn't know what to call this soup has ,so named it as Indian Style Macaroni Chicken Soup or Desi Macaroni Chicken Soup
It's a perfect appetizer for any kind of parties.Or else you can even serve this for weekend brunch as I do 🙂 One more delicious chicken soup recipe on blog is Lemon Coriander Chicken Soup.
