Chicken Popeye Soup ( Chicken and Spinach Pot Pie Soup) image

Well This is my creation in my first RSC contest. After thinking about it, I went into the kitchen and made it. When it came time for my DH to give it his review, HE really liked it! It is loaded with flavor. Rich and creamy. The crust served on top of the soup makes it extra good! Enjoy.
