Sorry, no pic on this one...

We were sick this weekend so I made us some brothy soup filled with veggies to try and help us get better. I just kind of put stuff together and created my own recipe.

Ingredients:
1 chicken breast, boneless, skinless, chopped into small pieces
2 TB butter, unsalted
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1-1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
1 small bunch leeks, chopped
1/2 bunch kale, chopped
4 cups chicken broth, 99% fat free, low sodium
4 cups water
2 chicken bullion cubes

I cooked the chicken until it was lightly browned. In the mean time I put the butter, celery, carrots, onion and green pepper in a large pot and started cooking it over medium heat. When the chicken was ready I added it, the rice, the leeks, kale, broth, water and bullion and brought to a simmer.

I let it simmer for about a half hour, then served. It needed a touch of salt, but otherwise was great.

I would have used 8 cups of chicken broth, but I didn't have it on hand - so water and bullion cubes worked fine.

This came out to be about 120 calories a serving (8 servings). Very simple, but perfect for getting over a cold.

Enjoy!
