Baby it’s cold outside! So I’m making my Detox Chicken Soup.

This soup is so simple to make. It’s so hearty and good that any and everyone will line up in your kitchen just to get a bowl of this scrumptuous Detox Chicken soup.

Ingredients are cooked Boneless Skinless Chicken breast, onions, carrots, celery, savory garlic, some mushrooms and any other vegetables you want to throw in there. Season it up! Boil it up! Throw some Kale in there with some freshly squeezed lemons to give it that kick. Serve in your favorite bowl, sprinkle some parsley to top it off, and cozy up under your favorite cashmere blanket. Don’t forget to turn on the Netflix .

Hope you enjoy it! I’m ready for the warm weather, what about you?

Chopped Tri-color carrots
Chopped Celery

MAKE SURE YOU PUT ON YOUR ONION GOGGLES TO HOLD BACK THE TEARS

A trick to hold back those tears while cutting onions is to add a bowl of water nearby to allow the onions to absorb the water, hence why it comes after our eyes.

Add those onions, garlic, tri-color carrots, celery, and chopped chicken breast to your pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Add mushrooms, and Whisk in 2 cartons of chicken broth. Sprinkle with dried oregano, thyme leaves, salt, and 2 bay leaves to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally, until tender and browned for about 6-7 minutes.

Add your sprig of rosemary until fragrant for 1 minute.

Reduce heat, and add your garbanzo beans and freshly rinsed bag of kale. Cook until kale is wilted for about 4-5 minutes.

I also added my very own Essence seasoning which you can find right here to make your own batch at home….. (add link from previous blog)

Adding my Essence Seasoning to the pot
Don’t forget your 2 cartons of Chicken Broth

Add 1/2 of a lemon to give your soup that extra added kick to intensify the flavor and top if off with some chopped parsley, with black pepper to your liking.

Serve Immediately.
