Notes

This recipe can be made with 4 cups of chicken stock or 6. Four cups will yield a very hearty thick soup. Six cups will yield a thinner soup. I prefer the four cup version. The nutritional information is for the recipe as written. Please note that the soup you see being ladled in the video is made with six cups.
