I use rotini noodles for this savory soup, but any short pasta that can easily fit onto a soup spoon will do.

2 servings: 289 mg. sodium per serving

2 ounces low sodium bacon, cut into small (1/2 inch) pieces
4 ounces cooked chicken breast, chopped into small (1/4 inch) pieces

2-1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup spinach leaves, torn into pieces
1-1/2 teaspoons lower sodium Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces cooked rotini or other short pasta
