Broccoli Chicken Soup (Hcg - Phase 2)

I had broccoli the other night and didn't want to cook (or throw out) the stem, so I cut it up and decided to use it in a soup. This was my result. =) It kind of reminds me of some kind of soup you could get in a Chinese restaurant for some reason. =) Also, this recipe is for two servings, so only eat half of it if you're on the HCG diet. If you want to add or remove certain spices, feel free to do so!! =)
