When making up soup recipes, I usually make it up as I go along. This chicken soup is not just your average chicken soup. It has lots of flavor with spinach and cannellini beans in it. I cut chicken breasts into chunks in this recipe. I sautéed onion, celery, and carrot and threw those in, as well as minced garlic, lots of fresh herbs, and baby spinach leaves. Man, this soup turned out awesome. My husband went back for two bowls. It is now becoming cool here in Alabama, so this was a perfect meal to enjoy.
