This soup was so easy and great comfort food. I cooked the chicken on low all day for about 9 hours and then finished the soup up in about an hour this evening. My kids really loved the mushrooms and I loved the addition of spinach. I also love that this is diabetic friendly as I am a Type I Diabetic and often find Diabetes friendly foods bland and boring. Thanks for a great soup Annacia! Made for PHOTO TAG FALL 2013.
