directions

  • Defrost the chicken breast if you haven't already; cut into small pieces.
  • Fill a small pot with water, bring to a slow boil.
  • Add onions and celery, boil for a couple minutes.
  • Add chicken pieces.
  • Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder (I only used 1 Tsp as an estimated reference, but you can add as much as you like to your preference. While I was cooking I continually grinded fresh salt and pepper and added more garlic powder into the pot).
  • Continue to bring to a slow boil, removing foam from the top of the soup.
  • Add veggie medley (broccoli, baby carrots, cauliflower) and cover.
  • *** The amount above in the ingredients list is not specified because I used a pre-packaged fresh veggies from Trader Joe's. (*** You can opt to just make a cup of these fresh veggies and chop them yourself, but for convenience I bought them already packaged together.).
  • Simmer for about 10-15 more minutes.
  • Enjoy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm married and in my early 30s, and have never really had a serious problem with weight...after gaining a few pounds above the norm after marriage I decided that just because I'm married, I can't just "let go" of myself... I still need to take care of myself (though I have no kids yet, I'd like to live a long healthy life with them)! I used to cook food for me and my husband with the thought of simplicity -- i.e. everything fried is easy! And though my husband still likes those fried foods and meats and is resistant to change, I've made the personal decision to change my eating and diet habits -- slowly but surely. I doubt that I will ever become a full "raw foodie", but I'm trying to eat healthy, organic, natural foods and continually incoporate them in my life. So, I've been experimenting, and will post my natural, msg-free (and hopefully health-smart) recipes online.
