Okay, you’ve got some leftover chicken, and you want a bit of chicken soup. That was my challenge this evening, and this is what I came up with. I was pleasantly surprised at how it came out. The good news is that you probably have most of these ingredients right there in front of you. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
