World's Best Chicken Soup
"I LOVE chicken soup but am allergic to wheat so can't do noodles. My husband hates rice, so I used quinoa in this. It was absolutely delicious. My husband agrees, and that's a huge complement since he is the "soup chef" at our local VA hospital and his soups are very popular out there."

- 6
ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth (I used Swanson's)
- 1 (10 ounce) can white chicken meat, with liquid (Canned is fast. Rotisserie chicken minus the bones and skin are even better)
- 1⁄2 cup quinoa or 1/2 cup rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 carrot, sliced in thin rings
- 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
- 1 bunch green onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley (2 tablespoons of fresh would be better, but I was out of it)
- 1 bay leaf
- fresh ground black pepper
- parmesan cheese
directions
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet on medium high heat until the butter melts. Saute the carrot, celery, onions, and garlic, until the garlic and onions are somewhat transparent.
- In a soup pot, heat the broth, quinoa, and chicken to boiling.
- Add the sauteed veggies, parsley, and bay leaf.
- Simmer 15 minutes, mashing the chicken chunks with the back of a wooden spoon to separate them.
- Serve with fresh ground black pepper and Parmesan cheese to taste.
