This is a nutritious soup that you can throw together rather quickly and that has the versatility to accept substitutions without a whole lot of fuss! Skip the chicken breast and replace the broth with vegetable broth and wah-lah you've got a very flavorful vegetarian soup. Add the full-flavors of a Rioja or Malbec red wine and you've got yourself a very tantalizing soup! Check out the full recipe here.
