Ugh..none of you guys can cook!
Fortunately for foomee I am a chef in training.
GINGER VEGIE CHICKEN SOUP
1/2 chicken cut in pieces (you can use chunks of chicken breast if its 2 much hassle)
1 chunk of fresh ginger peeled (about 4" long)
1 carrot cut into slices
1 celery stalk cut into slices
3 good fistfuls of raw spinach
5-6 branches of kale
1 cup of green soup noodles or wild rice
1/2 zucchini diced in chunks
1 potato cut into large chunks
1 onion diced
6 cloves garlic minced
1/2 red bell pepper diced
1 tomato (remove hearts with seeds)
Thyme, Rosemary and Paprika to taste
1 gallon water
Grab a big pot and line the bottom with olive oil, just enough to cover the area.
Flame on medium heat and toss in the chicken, garlic, onions, red pepper and carrots.
Simmer for a couple of minutes then add a little water and potato
Simmer for 5 min then add 4 cups more water with zucchini and tomato
Stir and raise heat till water comes to a boil, then reduce heat and add the rest of the water and ingredients.
Leave on medium/low flame for about an hour.
Salt to taste and maybe add some black pepper for kick. You can also squeeze some fresh lemon or lime for a little citrus flavor and vitamin C, just make sure to do it in the plate so vitamins are conserved.
This soup should last her a couiple of days and will definitely kick whatever she's got
Bon apetit!
