(actually, I cheated just a little here. I had used crushed hot/spicy pork rinds to bread some chicken last night, and had saved the drippings in the iron skillet. That's what I started the soup with instead of plain olive oil - it was olive oil slightly flavored with crushed pork rinds. ;)
Also, the soup base I used was Orrington Farms (http://www.amazon.com/Orrington-Farms-Gourmet-Chicken-16-Ounce/dp/B000H25WG8)
Aaaand . . . whatEVER chicken soup recipe you use, a splash of lemon will perk it up.)
