Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups fat-free chicken broth
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (6 ounces)
1 medium carrots, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 medium celery stalk, sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped spinach
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp oregano

Remove the chicken breast from the soup, slice into strips, and return to the pot. Add the lemon juice, stirring well to mix. Remove and discard the bay leaf. 3. Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls and serve immediately.
