Chicken Pasta Soup (For Toddler)

Now it is noon here in Texas and I am in the middle of lot of things like cooking, playing Legos with my kid, filling up my pantry boxes….You guys must be thinking now “then, why are you sitting down and writing this post in the middle of all these ?”. hahaaa, that is true, but sometimes I like writing my blog in the middle of everything and take it as a challenge!!!!

It is Summer, season of outdoor activities and fun! but the risk of getting cold and allergic reactions is more in this season. I love all the summer activities but I hate the time when my son is sick and not eating well. I know, a sick kid may not have the appetite to eat, but he still needs nutrition. I always make soup while my son gets sick, especially if he has stuffy nose because warm soup loosens mucus, so he can breathe easier. I usually make chicken soup by adding lot of herbs to boost his immune system. We parents can have this soup too. 

Today I am going to share a soup recipe “Chicken Pasta Soup” with you all. I am sure your family will love this soup. 

Enjoy! Stay healthy!
