We loved this soup! It was so flavorful, yet light! I used canned chicken, so it went even quicker! Made for your football win- congrats!

I scaled back for 1 serve and what delicious tasty and filling serve it was. I couldn't get snow peas so used sugar snaps and omitted the spinach as I didn't realize I was out of it and I julienned the ginger and left in as I love a bite of it as I am eating the soup. Thank you TeresaS for a great lunch, made for Food Friends and Fun and For Your Consideration tag game.
