What goes into a Chicken and Vegetable Soup?
Soup is my favorite type of dish. Not only is it a great way to add a variety of veggies into your diet, but it is also is a mixer of great health benefits.
This one is made from basic and well-known ingredients:
Meat: Chicken with bone and chicken breast.
Veggies: Carrots, onion, kale, celery, garlic.
Spices: onion powder, sage powder, salt, and pepper.
I like to precut the veggies so the process goes faster.
Steps
Steps to Make a Homemade Chicken and Vegetable Soup
Place chicken in a large soup pot and cover with water by 2 inches.
Bring water to a boil until foam forms on top of the pot. Skim foam off and discard.
Add all other ingredients except kale to the pot and bring to a rolling boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot leaving a crack and simmer for 1 ½ -2 hours until meat begins to fall off the bone.
Remove chicken from pot and allow the chicken to cool enough to handle. Remove meat from the bone and place it back in the pot along with the kale.
Allow soup to simmer for a few more minutes until greens soften. Turn off heat and serve warm.
