Variations:

Vegetarian - substitute black or pinto beans for the chicken and vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Veggie rich - add more veggies, carrots, celery, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, lima beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, etc.
Spicy - kick up the heat with chile powder and/or cayenne.
Different protein - substitute chicken sausage, turkey, or pork for the chicken. Chicken or turkey meatballs would be good too. Just be sure to adjust your Points accordingly.
