Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken chopped
- 1 ½ cups cooked or frozen chopped carrots

- 3 cups chicken broth
- 6 - 8 cups water depending on size of your pot and how thick you like your soup

- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon dried rubbed sage or thyme
