No cooking for awhile due to a broken wrist and elbow but thought I should share my mom's delicious chicken soup recipe. Mom will be 89 in June and still makes this soup.
Chicken Vegetable Soup
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, diced
1 TBSP. olive oil
½ head of cabbage, chopped
3 large stalks of celery, chopped
2 large heads of broccoli, chopped
15 baby carrots, chopped
1 bunch of spinach, chopped (2-4 cups)
½ cup chopped red pepper
1 15 oz. can chopped tomatoes
2 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
6 cups chicken broth
¾ cup white wine
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Boil chicken in water until done, approx. 20 minutes. Drain, cool, then shred chicken. Set aside.
Put olive oil in a large pot, over medium heat. Add garlic and simmer until golden; add onion, sauté until transparent. Add all vegetables, salt and pepper to pot, stir, cover and simmer over low heat for 6-8 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, wine, chicken and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
