Description

 

Uplevel your chicken soup…  I love making this recipe with some added boosters that I’m sharing with you today because it’s not your ordinary chicken soup!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Yellow Onion (small, roughly chopped)
  • 2 Garlic (cloves, roughly chopped)
  • 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 Carrot (large, chopped)
  • 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
  • 1 Sweet Potato (Japanese, large, cubed)
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth, Low Sodium (Low Sodium)
  • 2 cups Kale Leaves (chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a small blender or a food processor, purée the onion and garlic. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt. Cook for three to five minutes per side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the onion and garlic mixture, carrots, celery, and sweet potato to the large pot. Sauté for four to five minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Add a splash of broth or water if needed.
  4. Add the chicken back in along with the broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken and place it in a bowl or on a plate. Shred it with two forks then put it back into the soup. Add the kale and cook for a few more minutes, until wilted.
  6. Divide evenly between bowls and enjoy!
