Notes
This could easily be made with rotisserie or pre-cooked, shredded chicken. In that case, I would add the meat in the last five minutes of cooking time.
Freezer Notes: If you don't mind the texture of frozen potatoes, this soup freezes well in individual servings for a ready-made meal. Just pour into freezer bags and freeze flat on a cookie tray. When soup is frozen, stack. Just be sure to defrost it in the refrigerator. The potatoes will turn to complete mush if you defrost in the microwave.
