Ohmy-- I absolutely LOVE this soup! It makes a lot and keeps well so you can re-heat for awhile. 
This is taken from a recipe but tweaked a bit to my own tastes. I do not measure much either, so I'll just put it out there and if you wanna try it and need help, lemme know! ;D
You'll need:
2 TBSP Olive Oil
3 cloves of Garlic (minced, chopped, whatever)
1 small white onion (chopped)
1 lb of chix (cut up) OR what I like to use (1 package of Hillshire or equivalent--Polska Kielbasa LIght--cause it tastes meatier)
3 cans (standard size) chix broth
1 small box of frozen spinach
2 cans of light red kidney beans (rinse and drain)
1/2 cup of orzo (noodle that looks like rice, best way to describe)
Take oil, garlic, and onion and put in a big pot, sautee (stir around) for about 5 minutes.
Add sausage/chix to sauteed items and cook together for about another 5 minutes.
Put broth and spinach in and bring to a boil. Add beans and orzo and reduce the heat. Go ahead and cover it and let it cook for about another 5 minutes until orzo is semi-soft. You'll need to keep stirring--don't worry if the spinach looks like it's not mixing. It floats. haha
Now, I won't say this is the best lookin soup as far as presentation, but add some crumbled feta and a big spoon and dig in! This soup is awesome. It's light, but enough to fill ya. If you try it, lemme know how you like it!!!!
