From what I can taste, this recipe very closely simulates Mama Mandolo's Chicken Soup recipe at the Carrabba's restaurants. I wan't sure how much "1/2 bunch of parsley" was, but I got Italian parsley and put in what I thought my husband would tolerate (he doesn't like green "things"). It was wonderful! I am keeping this in my recipe box forever!!!
This soup is easy and a great way to use your leftovers.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine
