Chicken Soup with Veggies

Chicken soup is one of the most comforting meals on earth. I love getting cozy with a large bowl of chicken soup and I always add freshly squeezed lemon juice on top! So yummy! This soup is packed with vitamins and nutrients and it is very healing for the gut.

Chicken Soup with Veggies

Serves 8

INGREDIENTS

• 10 – 12 cups water
• 2 organic, skinless chicken breast
• 2 carrots, sliced in circles
• 1 leek, thinly sliced
• 1 stick lemon grass, cut into half
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 zucchini, finely chopped
• 3 celery stalks, finely chopped
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 inch ginger, grated
• 1 inch turmeric root, grated
• Sea salt & pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

DIRECTIONS

• STEP 1. Add water to a large pot over medium heat.
• STEP 2. Cut chicken into small pieces and place it in the pot of water. Bring to a boil. As the water starts to boil, a white foam will begin to form. Using a spoon, scoop it out and discard it. This will ensure the broth is nice and clear!
• STEP 3. Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes.
• STEP 4. Add all of the veggies and season with salt and pepper. Simmer and cook for 45 minutes uncovered.
• STEP 5. Serve the soup while hot, top with chopped parsley and squeeze lemon on top. Enjoy!
