Karen's Chicken Soup

Submitted by gclissold

"A very healthy and extremely satisfying chicken soup. After always making my chicken soup in a traditional jewish style, I spent a week with my friend Karen G. in FL and learned her way to make it. For Passover I will make it the traditional way, but for once a month-this will be my new way! My kids, husband and mom love it!"
