Introduction

This is a great soup if you are congested, or just hungry! I use chicken broth that is salted, so I don't add any salt to the recipe, but you may want to. I developed this soup to use up left over roasted chicken. You can boil the meat off the bones, or use other sources of chicken. This is a great soup if you are congested, or just hungry!

Ingredients

    Organic Chicken Broth, 64 fl oz (8 cups)
    Onions, raw, 1 cup, chopped or diced
    Garlic, 2 cloves, chopped or diced
    Celery, raw, 1 stalk, large (11"-12" long)
    Roasting Chicken, light meat, 2 cups, chopped or diced
    Corn, 1 cup kernels (fresh, frozen or canned)
    Olive Oil, 3 tbsp
    Cayenne, 1 tsp
    Red Potato, raw, 1 1/2-2 cups, diced
    Zucchini, 1 cup, sliced into 1/2 rounds

Directions

Put chicken broth in large soup pot. Place *roasted chicken, with bones, into broth. Bring to boil, and turn down to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and bones with a slotted spoon and spread on a cookie sheet to cool somewhat. When cool enough to handle, separate chicken from the bones and reserve about 2 cups for the soup. The rest can be frozen for other use.

Chop/dice onions
Chop/dice celery
Chop/dice garlic

Heat oil and saute onions and celery for about 5 minutes, then add garlic. Cook for another couple minutes.

Slice zucchini into 1/2 rounds

Add cayenne, sauteed vegetables and zucchini to simmering broth. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add corn and chicken and cook for another 5 minutes.

*I use left over roasted chicken, skin removed.

Makes about eight 1 1/2-2 cup servings.
