Jan’s Chicken Vegetable Soup

Recently at an Italtian restaurant we fell in love with their Homemade Chicken Soup appetizer, When we asked our waitress what the secret was, she said the cook, her husband, uses Marinara Sauce so I decided to give a try at home. And it proved to be a great addition to my basic receipe, really bumping the taste up a notch. Give it a try.
