Kittencal's Hearty Chicken Soup image

This is a thick hearty delicious soup I make using my recipe#118258 but can be made using using canned broth. Add in some cooked rice or egg noodles also if desired! The spinach is only *optional* if you are not a spinach-lover then you can omit, I like to add it in! The success of this soup will depend on the quality of your chicken broth, so make certain to use the best broth available! You can adjust all amounts to suit taste and increase the chicken broth if desired, the exact amounts do not really matter for all ingredients.

This soup is delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken and it made the soup even more flavorful. I also added some egg noodles and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the chicken. It was still delicious and very flavorful. I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it even healthier.
