Italian chicken soup with vegetables

Brothy and filled with vegetables, this chicken soup is a warming, comforting meal that’s ideal for an easy lunch or quick dinner. To bulk it up, you can toss in any cooked grain you have on hand, such as rice, farro, barley or quinoa, which will also add some nice texture and chew to each bite. You can use leftover chicken you have or a rotisserie chicken—one deli chicken generally yields about 3 cups total of white and dark meat. Just before serving, if you want to add extra richness to this humble soup, you could drizzle 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive into the pot along with the lemon juice, and consider garnishing each serving with grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (just be sure to track any additional SmartPoints values).
