Introduction

This is a simple and quick chicken noodle soup, using the chicken breast pieces of a store-roasted chicken (I pull the breast pieces as soon as I get home to reserve for this soup).
The soup has some new flavors - I add fresh mushrooms to the soup, and serve with baby spinach leaves added to each bowl when serving. The spinach will wilt somewhat in the hot soup but not get soggy. Each bowl is topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to add to the richness
This is very filling!
