Ingredients

  • 1 box chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 2 large carrots
  • .5 bag frozen peas
  • 1 small carton mushrooms
  • .5 bag fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 2 baked/roasted chicken breasts
  • .75 cups whole wheat pasta
  • Grated pepper

Hollyized Steps:

  • Pour chicken broth into a large pot and place on high until it boils.
  • While you wait for the broth to boil, wash the carrots and mushrooms. Slice carrots into thick slices to get a homemade feel from your soup. Pat mushrooms dry with a paper towel and remove any stems from the batch.
  • Once the broth is boiling, add in the pasta and maintain boil for five minutes.
  • You can prepare your chicken during this time if you are baking or roasting it. Rotisserie chickens from the deli can be a time saving alternative for this soup- you can just shred the meat during this time.
  • Add in all your veggies- be sure to stir the soup with a ladle so it’s mixed and nothing burns if stuck to the bottom.
  • Let the soup simmer on low/medium until your mushrooms begin to shrink and turn a dark gray. Then remove from heat and let sit.
  • I added extra grated pepper (of course!) to give it some extra flavor. Finish baking your chicken (until all white- no pink) and then cut into small chunks.
  • Serve your soup into a small Tupperware and you will have a FABULOUS comfort soup to have for lunch!
