- Comments: "Dinner at J. Alexander"s in nearby Troy is a treat my family enjoys regularly, and there"s one thing we always order: the chicken soup. says Katie Randlett of Wixom, Michigan. "Although it sounds ordinary, this version definitely isn"t - it has a rich, creamy texture, and it"s full of goodies like pasta, sugar snap peas and carrots."
- Sugar snap peas add in crunch to this comforting soup. The restaurant uses penne pasta, but macaroni would also work well.
