Chicken, Fennel and Mushroom Soup image

This is a great way to enjoy a high protein and low carbohydrate meal. My friends at work can verify this as a very yummy soup! They all came at my lunch with their soup spoons poised and none went away without smacking their lips. Enjoy! This is a delicate flavor that can be served with a light and fruity white wine, and for those bread lovers, a crusty, sweet peasant loaf.

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

I found this soup to be a bit too oily. I think it would be better if you used less olive oil.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.
