1bunch organic celery choppedincluding green leafy tops
1bunch organic kale chopped
1bay leaf
1lb.organic chicken breast
4cupsorganic chicken brothif you buy packaged – make sure it doesn’t have any yeast extract or autolyzed yeast – a hidden name for MSG
2cupswater
1can of “Eden Foods” organic cannelloni beansthis is the only canned product brand I use, the liners are guaranteed BPA Free
Instructions
Salt and pepper organic chicken breast on each side, cut into small cubes and set aside.
Heat large pot with olive oil on medium for about 3-5 mins. Add chopped onions and celery and cook until soft about 5-7 mins.
Add the bay leaf, broth, water and chicken and turn heat up to high. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat down to a simmer for 10 mins.
After 10 mins add cannelloni beans and chopped kale and cook another 10 mins. Remove bay leaf before serving
Note: This soup can easily be made vegan by adding one extra can of beans, omitting the chicken, and changing to vegetable broth which sometimes I do, if I make this on Tuesdays, the day that I give up meat entirely each week.
