Recipe ::. Florentine Chicken Soup

I got this recipe from my husband's Aunt a short while ago. My in-laws own and operate Assisted Living Facilities and the cook was out sick so hubby's Aunt brought in lunch for the residents; the girls and I happened to be there at the time and OH. MY. GOSH. Charlotte LOVED it! In fact, it's this soup that made her "like soup". I tweaked it a tad from her recipe, so here goes.
