Rainy Season Chicken Soup

This is another recipe from the Diane Mott Davidson mystery series. A crime fighting caterer. Who would have thunk it?

I printed it offline, but can't track it back. A quick Google search provided more results than I care to report!

All I care about was the fact that this soup was delicious! I wish I had doubled it when I made it, we ate it all!
