Chicken Soup

 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of chopped onion
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1-2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2-3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 cups of chicken broth (see note below)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for a minute longer.
  2. Add the chicken stock along with the bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
  3.  Add chicken.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the parsley, salt and pepper. Maintain a low boil/heavy simmer for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve warm with grated parmesan cheese (and crusty Italian bread if desired!) 
  6. Optional: Noodles or small pasta can absolutely be added to this soup if desired. You can also take the opportunity to add some additional vegetables like green beans, baby spinach leaves or even chopped broccoli.
