My husband and I had bad colds and I remembered a chicken soup we had eaten at Panerra's that was very good. So I found this one here at Allrecipes.com which was very similar sounding. I simmered some boneless chicken breasts in water with salt and some herbs. Then used that broth along with some good quality canned broth. When the chicken was very tender, I cut it into bite size pieces, and put it back into the broth. I shut off the heat and added the spinach, but no carrots. Instead of using rice I used a cup of hot cooked orzo. I squeezed some lemon juice into the broth along with the orzo, and floated some lemon slices on top. Then I turned the heat back on to very low, bringing the soup to steaming again and served immediately with crusty bread. With just these minor changes this soup is a huge winner, and great for slurping when sick with a cold.
