Basic Chicken Soup
I love fall (well usually this 90 degree stuff in October is past old, but that's another story all together!), but fall also brings on allergy season. As I've gotten older my allergies have gotten worse and the pollution around here doesn't help matters either. Sometimes it's nice to just whip up a nice pot of Basic Chicken Soup. It's a healthy comfort food that helps you feel better when you're suffering from allergies or even a common cold.
What You'll Need:
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt
Black pepper
1 quart of chicken broth
2 cups of chicken
1 cup of edamame
In a medium sized stock pot sauté onion and carrot with a pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper until onion is tender. Add broth, chicken and edamame and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender.
Notes: You can make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth and leaving out the chicken. Any veggie will work. Sometimes I add leek and/or peas and corn. It's an easy soup to mix and match. You can also add in pasta of some sort if you like.
