    Betty's ChickSpin Soup by the Cup

    12oz. Homemade roasted chicken, dark meat, boneless, and skinless
    1 - 16oz bag (6 cups) Publix frozen chopped spinach

    3. Add the spinach and frozen stir fry veggies to the pot and bring to boil again.
    4. Add all the spices and bouillon to the pot and stir to mix being careful not to crumble the bay leaves.
    5. Chop the chicken into small bite size pieces and add to the pot. Simmer on low for 30 mins stirring frequently.
    6. Makes 14 cups. Each cup has: 87 CALORIES, 3g CARBS, 12g PROTEIN, 3g FAT, 465mg SODIUM, 19mg POTASSIUM, and 0 CHOLESTEROL.
