Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients, especially when it comes to the basil and spinach, as they enhance the flavor significantly. Adjust seasoning according to taste, and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for a touch of acidity. This soup can also be made with leftover chicken, reducing the cooking time slightly.
