Grandma’s version of chicken noodle soup was fun to eat because she made it with curly pasta.

On the farm where Grandma grew up, this chowder was often bubbling away on the old stove.

As children, my cousins and I called this ‘Peanut Butter Soup.’

My grandmother, abuelita, we called her, said she learned to make this soup from her mami.

Grandma always had a loaf of freshly made Irish soda bread on the table with this soup.
