How to Make Delicious Chicken Soup

Chicken soup is delicious, easy, and lasts forever. You can even freeze it. I like to make it on Sunday and eat for most of the week.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Chicken breasts (2 or more)
• 2 Carrots
• 1 potato
• 1 can of corn
• 2 pieces of garlic
• 1 small zucchini
• i can cannellini beans
• 4 stalks celery
• 1 large onion
• Chicken stock or concentrated chicken stock

1. Put the onions and garlic in the bottom of a large pot. Have your chicken stock prepared and standing by.

2. Begin to fry the onions and garlic in a little oil, fairly gently until almost translucent.

3. Add the chicken, and turn up the heat. Avoid pushing the chicken around too much; allow it to brown, even to the point that it may stick to the bottom a bit. Sprinkle with basil, oregano, sage, black pepper and salt.

4. Once the onions are cooked and the chicken is browned, add the chicken stock. If things were sticking, run your spoon over the bottom until the pot deglazes and the burnt bits lift off. The pot should be about half full with chicken stock.

5. Add everything else! Dice everything for maximum flavor and short cooking time.

6. Let the soup simmer on a low boil for about 1 hour. There should be enough stock for it to boil down and condense and still be fairly brothy.

Tips & Warnings

• This is a hearty soup, a delicious winter warmer that is great with grated cheddar cheese on top.
