How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1/4 head green cabbage, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 8 cups salted chicken broth
- 1 small head broccoli, chopped
- 2 small zucchini, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Chop the onion, carrots, cabbage, celery, broccoli, and zucchini in bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Step 2: Peel off the skin of the pre-cooked chicken and discard. Pull the meat off of the chicken (this is easier if your chicken is still warm). Really use your hands to pull off as much meat as possible, getting a combination of both white and dark meat. Roughly chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 3: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the celery, cabbage, and carrots; cook for another 4 minutes.
- Step 4: Add in the broth. Top up with water or additional broth, 1 cup at a time, as needed to cover the ingredients in the pot. Increase the heat and bring to a low boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat the medium-low, partially cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 8 minutes.
- Step 5: Add in the remaining zucchini and broccoli and simmer partially covered for another 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, all the vegetables should be fork-tender.
- Step 6: Add in the chicken pieces, freshly cracked black pepper, and the parsley. Stir. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until warmed through. Turn off the heat and allow the soup to cool. If needed, add in an extra splash of broth to reach desired consistency.
- Serve: Ladle yourself a big bowl of warm soup. Enjoy.
