Delicious Spicy Chicken Bow Tie Soup

This hearty and flavorful soup is perfect for cool days. Depending on how much red pepper flakes you add, it can even help clear your sinuses!

I rarely measure, so these listed amounts are merely a guideline. If you're making a huge amount, as per below, ensure you start with an extra large soup pot.

• 1-2 large onions, chopped
• 6-7 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste)
