Once again, rotisserie chickens can really relieve the dinner-rush pressure-especially in this Italian-inspired soup that cries out for a piece of crusty bread and a glass of red wine.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This was a fantastic soup with wonderful flavors. It was very easy too. I didn't have rotisserie chicken so I used seasoned chicken breasts instead. This recipe is a keeper - I'll be sure to make it again. "
