Spring Chicken Soup

RECIPE

One of the great things about this soup is that it's a perfect way to use up leftover chicken or even veggies from the week. I've loaded this soup up with as many Spring-inspired fruits, herbs, and veggies as I possibly could. Peas, basil, lemon, oh my! Zucchini and some chicken too.

Author's Notes

I used some chicken that I cooked up quickly in my pressure cooker, but a rotisserie chicken would also lend well to this soup. Grilled chicken would also work!
