Chicken & Vegetable Soup
I was heading home from work feeling hungry and cold (no surprise) thinking that soup sounded good. Queue Google which lead me to the Wellness Mama who provided the best inspiration!
There really aren't any rules here; I winged the ratios on veggies and seasonings so do whatever you want.
What I Used:
1lb Chicken Breast Tenders
12c Chicken Stock
1 sm. bushel Carrots
2 stocks Broccoli
2 small Zucchini
~1c. Corn
~1c. Peas
~3c. Kale
~2c. Butternut Squash (frozen)
3 Garlic Cloves (frozen Trader Joe's cubes)
3 cubes Basil (frozen Trader Joe's cubes)
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp. Basil
2 tsp. Curry
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 tsp. Turmeric
2 tsp. Oregano
2 tsp. Parsley
2 tsp. Rosemary
2 tbs. Dried Onion (because I forgot to get an onion at the market)
Sea Salt
Pepper
How To:
Poach the chicken in stock. Place chicken in stock pot with stock (~1in. higher than the chicken which was about 6c. for me), bring to a boil on medium heat. Once it boils, reduce to medium-low heat and let it simmer for about 10min. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot.
Add in the rest of the broth and the seasonings. Then the carrots, zucchini and bring them to a boil for a few minutes. Once close to cooked, add in the rest of the veggies that cook faster. Once the veggies are cooked, add back in the chicken, remove from heat and enjoy!
