    I don't know what saint at Elephant's Deli decided to share the recipe for this soup, but they go on my list of people to be grateful for. I've lightened it up a bit, but the flavor's still teriffic. This is one of my favorites!

      I gave it 5 stars because I made my own chicken stock in my pressure cooker. It's the best stock ever and all the soups I make come out so delicious. The store bought stuff will not give you the flavor for this soup and it won't taste like the soup at Elephant's using store bought.

      I made this recipe in the slow cooker...added all of the ingredients except tomatoes, cream and spinach and let it cook for about 8 hours while I was at work. When I got home, I added the tomatoes, cream and spinach, topped it with a bit of fresh Romano cheese and served with Italian bread. It was so delicious and so simple using the crock pot.The chicken came out better in the slow cooker than cooking on stove top because it just shredded apart when I served it. I used all ingredients the recipe lists except the oil, which wasn't really needed. It turned out just like the original! Delicious!!

      We really enjoyed this soup! It kept reminding me and my husband of chicken curry, though the recipe has neither curry nor coconut milk in the ingredients.
      One thing I would mention. I halved the recipe (6 servings) and the instructions stated to add 2tsp of salt. I thought that was a bit much and went by instinct. I added app. 1 1/4 tsp. The soup turned out perfect - any more salt would have ruined the flavor, a little less would have been alright and worked out.
