This Detox Immune-Boosting Chicken Soup does exactly what it says on the tin – it is a super healthy, super nutritious and super delicious. One of the key immune-boosting ingredients in this soup is kale. This leafy green vegetable is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on planet Earth. It is full of powerful antioxidants and it is an excellent source of vitamin C.
And that’s not all, kale can help lower cholesterol too. Is it any wonder I try to squeeze it into loads of the dishes I make?
Back to this soup which is chock full of goodness. When it comes to veggies alone, it has a mix of onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, chickpeas and kale. To these I add chicken broth, chicken and some flavors and seasoning. When all the ingredients are assembled, it makes a really warm and comforting soup.
To make this Detox Immune-Boosting Chicken Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the onion, celery and carrots for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, turmeric, crushed red pepper, salt and chickpeas and bring to a boil.
Once the soup has come to a boil, turn the heat down to low. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir well and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add the kale. Cover the soup and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and discard.
Serve large bowls of this soup with fresh bread.
This Detox Immune-Boosting Chicken Soup is a perfect healthy soup to make in fall or winter when coughs and colds start to set in. Try it out and come back soon to leave a review.
Super healthy and delicious!
