Here's an adapted recipe of our top-selling Healing Chicken Soup that you can easily do at home:
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent. This should take about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, chicken broth, thyme, oregano, basil, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
