¹ You can also use frozen or canned spinach for this as well.
² You can use:
- boneless-skinless version (whether it be thighs or breasts), cut them into small pieces, and cook them in the oil prior to making the soup.
- pieces of rotisserie chicken from your local grocer. Simply tear it apart, removing the bones and skin, then add it to the soup at the end.
³Instead of chicken bullion: add an extra cup of chicken broth and a teaspoon of salt.
