Are you still freezing in your part of the world?
We are here in Arizona. And I know you think it’s impossible to do that but it’s been in the 20s this last week, which is pretty darn cold for us Arizonans. With this cold front in, we’re still in Soup Weather so I was thrilled to find out my mom had tried another soup recipe. This time it was a Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup that she found from HERE. I don’t know why I was skeptical to try this soup but I was just because of the combination of ingredients in it, but it was DIVINE!!! The hubby had 4 servings I think. I, myself, had two. It was absolutely delicious, and is suppose to be a Copycat recipe for Olive Garden’s Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup.
Here’s the recipe:

- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 14.5 oz cans Chicken Broth
- 3 tsp. Italian Seasoning
- 2 tsp. paprika

- When cool, shred chicken breast and add to your crock pot along with leftover broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, beans and water. Cook in the crock pot on low for 4 1/2 - 5 hours.
- Stir in cream cheese until well combined. Cook soup for another half hour and add your spinach.
