Every week in the winter deserves a fabulous soup idea- and this super greens soup with chicken added is chocked full of goodness. I feel great serving this to my family and pair it with pumpernickel sandwiches. It sounds like they might balk at all of the greens, but the flavors come together so well! Delicious, warm, and nutritious!
