CHICKEN AND POTATO FLORENTINE SOUP (OLIVE GARDEN)
Ever since the first time I saw the Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup being advertised on TV, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It just looked so delicious. So here's my attempt at making a clone of it. Let me know what you think. Post Script: The first batch has been deemed a success by my husband and daughter. They would give it a 5 Star Rating, but of course, they're partial to the cook! From the kitchen of Tona Thornburg Court, Moberly, Missouri.

Steps:
- Simmer first 6 ingredients until chicken breasts are tender; remove meat and let cool; drain the solids from the broth and put clear liquid back into the soup pot; chop up chicken into bite size chunks and put back into the broth.
- Add next 10 ingredients to the soup pot and simmer for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes should be fork tender but not mushy.
- Add the fresh spinach and stir; let it wilt into the soup for about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese and the grated mozzarella to the soup pot. Stir frequently until the cheese melts. Be careful that it does not stick to the bottom.
- Ladle into bowls; serve with crusty bread.

CHICKEN AND POTATO FLORENTINE SOUP
On a recent visit to Olive Garden, I tried their Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup and savored every bite. Later, I tried to order some for take out only to learn that it was no longer on their menu. I hoped that someone had created a copycat recipe. But my searching only revealed that others also loved this soup and were looking for a copycat recipe. I only had the soup once -- and that was several weeks ago. This is my attempt.
