Author's Notes: This is a recipe from Salmagundi, a San Francisco soup restaurant chain.
I usually make this with leftover chicken. You don't actually need a whole chicken worth - even a small amount will do. In this case, I use a mixture of chicken broth and water (about 2/3 chicken broth) for the liquid.
