Soup

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts 
  • Onion 
  • Celery
  • Carrots 
  • Baby spinach
  • Egg noodles
  • Cannellini beans 
  • Garlic cloves 
  • Rosemary fresh
  • Thyme fresh
  • Oregano dried
  • Basil dried
  • Turmeric
  • Bay leaves fresh or dried
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Water
  • Better than bouillon chicken paste
  • Olive oil

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat oil in a large soup pot or a cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Make sure the oil is piping hot before you add the chicken. You want to get a nice golden sear on both sides of the chicken. Cook for 3 minutes maximum per side. Do not move the chicken during the searing process. Set aside to cool.

Heat the other tbsp of oil in your large soup pot over medium high heat. Sautee the onions, carrots and celery for 10 minutes. Toss in all the seasonings and fresh herbs and stir for 5 minutes to really incorporate those flavors. Pour in water, better then bouillon chicken paste, beans and egg noodles and mix well, turn heat down to medium and cook for 15 minutes with the lid on. Either shred your chicken, or chop it in cubes. The chicken may still be slightly raw but we are about to finish it off. After cutting or shredding the chicken, add back into the soup and cook for 5 minutes, lid on. Finally, toss in that spinach and only cook for a minute, you don’t want the spinach a sloppy green mess, you want the leaves wilted only. Serve with crackers or your favorite sandwich and enjoy!

Note: Store soup in fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Want more delicious homemade soup recipes? Click here!
