    This was a hit with my family. Simple and delicious.

  2. This was delicious. We loved it

  3. We loved this! Definitely will make again this summer ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. The whole family loved this! I ended up using a 12 oz box of bowtie pasta and 4 1/2 cups chicken broth and it turned out great!

  5. Asparagus quantity should be pound or bunch – not a BUSHEL!

  6. This turned out so good. The only thing I did differently is I thawed out some frozen spinach and put it in during the first simmer. I also always use chicken soup base mixed with water for chicken broth.

  7. Delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹, made it for the second time tonight.
