Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup white or yellow onions diced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 2 cups carrot diced
- 3 garlic clove minced
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups sweet potato diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 lb free range organic boneless chicken breasts
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnishing
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- In a medium pan, add the chicken breasts, cover with about 2 inches of water, salt the water to taste and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Boil for about 15 mins or until chicken is cooked through.
- While chicken in poaching, start sautéing the veggies. In a large pot, heat olive oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, turn the heat down to medium.
- Add onion, celery and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth, sweet potato, oregano, onion powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix all together.
- Bring to a boil and simmer partially covered for 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft.
- Halfway through boiling the sweet potatoes, add in the shedded chicken to rewarm a bit. Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. If you prefer, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a short cut, you can use pre-cooked shredded rotisserie chicken in place of the chicken breasts.
- Dice everything uniformly to ensure even cooking and that you’ll get a bite of everything with each spoonful.
- Do not overcook the chicken or it’ll become rubbery.
- To store: Put leftover soup into an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Rewarm soup in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- To freeze: Freeze cooked soup in a freezer-safe bag or container once cooled. Freeze for up to 3 months.
