Okay, that's weird. I printed this 2 days ago and there was NO chicken in the recipe. Now there is. I suppose it was modified and I'm glad because I was wondering why it's called "chicken soup" w/only chix broth! I substituted 1/2 lb. ground turkey for the missing chix, reduced zucchini to 1 large, and still had some yummy, healthy soup. I've had some awesome tort. soups in my day so can't say it was the best, but it is very good & easy. Thanks for sharing Design*Girl!
