Introduction

My soups are very thick. This soup could easily be modified to have fewer calories but adding more broth and thus making more servings. This is listed as a soup, but it's a meal.

Tips

The time listed is not precise. I chop and cook at the same time, so while the one thing is sauteing, I am prepping the next ingredient.


Directions

In a very large soup pot, saute the onions in the olive oil until the onions are glassy (about 2 minutes). Add the celery, carrots, chopped kale stems, and red bell pepper and continue to saute until the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic, ginger and butter, saute another minute or two. Add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their fluids, then add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, stirring and using the juices from the chicken and the mushrooms to deglaze the pan. When the chicken is cooked, add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the squash and cook until tender. When the squash is tender, add the zucchini, black beans, corn and green beans. Cook until the zucchini is tender. Last, add the diced tomatoes with their juices. Shut the pot off and let it cook/cool.
