I adapted this from Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking Magazine, March 09. I made some chicken thighs in a skillet and let them cool and then I chopped them up before adding them to the soup.
This was a big hit, even with Trevor. He loved it and ate almost 2 bowls.
It was thick without the use of potato, which is what attracted me to the recipe. It didn't need them!
Just delicious and perfect on a really cooooold day!

Risa's notes:
* I cooked up a package of boneless skinless chicken thighs and sprinkled them with
some poultry seasoning and salt before cooking in a skillet with a tiny bit of oil.
