Tuscan Chicken Soup, made with leftovers.
Recipe Idea: Tuscan Chicken Soup Made With Leftovers
Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about some light and delicious, Tuscan Chicken Soup.
Do you have left-over chicken that you don’t know what to do with? Make soup! I made this delicious Tuscan Chicken Soup for lunch yesterday. The broth was light and flavorful and the veggies were crisp and scrumptious. I especially like to use leftover roasted rotisserie chicken. My local grocery store has terrific roasted chicken. At times, I have used canned chicken and it works wonderfully.
This is a quick, light one-pot meal. Perfect for lunch or supper. If you would like a little more flavor, add one-quarter cup of chopped fresh basil when you add the spinach. Yum! Add some French Bread or a Green Salad and call it a meal.
I know you’re gonna love this easy meal.
