chopped spinach
Parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning blend
olive oil

Instructions:
Sauté 2-3 garlic cloves in olive oil for a few minutes until softened. 
Add a good sprinkling of any seasoning you likeand a good pinch of salt. You can mix your own Italian seasoning with rosemary, oregano and basil.
Add 4 cups of a good low salt low carb chicken broth or home made stock and water to make sure there’s no added sugars or carbs. Allow to simmer for a few minutes to bring out the flavor in the herbs. 
Cut 3-4 cooked chicken breasts into bite size cubes and add to stock.

You could add tiny low carb meatballs to make this more of an Italian wedding soup or stir in 1 or 2 scrambled raw eggs (egg-drop style) and allow them to cook in the broth to make this another traditional Italian soup.
Fresh basil leaves added with the spinach is another good addition.
