I added a cup of shredded chicken to this soup and it was amazing! It's now my go-to comfort food.

I'm a vegetarian and I made this soup without the chicken broth. It was still delicious!

This soup was a little too thick for my taste, but the flavor was great. I'll try thinning it out with some milk next time.
