Introduction

I turn to soup when my stomach needs a little love. This is one that I fixed up today. It's bland, yay stomach. But it could easily be spiced or seasoned to taste. Yields about 8.5 cups.

Sautee onion, garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil in soup pot. Add a little water, let sautee down. Add the kale, stir and cover. Stir and cover. Add the chicken (washed and patted dry). Stir and cover. Add a wee more water, if needed. Stir and cover. Then add the 3.5 cups of water, turnips, carrots, rice and a lil salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down and let simmer or slow boil until done. With two forks pull apart (shred) the chicken in the pot. Then serve.
