Ingredients

    4C Chicken Broth (I used Wild Oats Organic)
    2C Chicken, shredded
    3.5 C Spinach, chopped (I like mine super chopped!)
    1/3 Basil Pesto (I used Classico)

Tips

I like my chicken and spinach SUPER chopped up. I love this recipe because it is really flexible. You can pretty much add anything you want. Try adding some more veggies or add some crushed red pepper for a little kick! I sometimes like to will add 1/4 cup of pearl couscous or quinoa. Just remember to keep your health goal in mind if you choose to adapt the recipe. Get creative and enjoy!!!


Directions

Put chicken broth, chicken, and spinach into a medium pot or sauce pan. Cook over medium to high heat and bring to a simmer. Mix in the pesto and any spices you choose to add and cook for two more minutes. Let the soup cool a bit and enjoy!
