Very good and filling! I adjusted this recipe slightly by using only one pound of tomatillos, only 2 onions (one red and one white), only 4 oz of green chiles and skipping the spinach and the garnishes. I also only used 2 chicken breasts--delicious! I think the leftovers will make wonderful lunches too! Thanks for sharing this very versatile soup which we will be having often!

Warming soups are a staple in Iceland, but I would have ingredient issues there to make this soup. Luckily I was able to enjoy it while visiting SusieQusie here in Dallas & it was like coming home to my roots here. I had it to accompany a sandwich, but you could make a meal of this loaded w/veggies & chunky-textured soup. Black olives might be good as a late add & a sprinkle of shredded cheese to top. Yum! Thx for sharing your recipe w/us.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
