This is a really savory and light chicken soup. The spinach and basil give it a little different flavor 
from your standard chicken soup. It was always well received by our guests.
This is a great soup to use up leftover poultry like turkey. If you don't want to start from scratch and boil a chicken and pick the meat, grab a roased chicken from the grocery store. You can add things to this soup like a shaped pasta or orzo if you want to make it a bit heartier.
