Shana, this is a lovely soup. I made it for a friend, but of course I had to taste it so I could review. I made the meatballs, used fresh spinach, and didn't add the extra chicken granules as I had a rich chicken stock in the fridge from yet another one of my PAC dishes made during the weekend. Thanks for sharing!
