Chicken, Sweet Potato and Spinach Soup image

My mom made this for me every time I was sick; it was the only thing I could keep down. It was mild but I love it even when I'm not under the weather. She would use her own roasted chickens, but when I'm not feeling well I don't feel like roasting my own chicken, and the store-bought ones work in a pinch. Serve with crusty bread.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken stock
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1 cup cooked roast chicken meat
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat chicken stock and sweet potato in a stockpot over high heat. Cook until sweet potato is soft enough to pierce with a fork, about 10 minutes.
