Hearty Lentil Soup with Garden Vegetables
Simmered green lentils and tender shredded chicken breast meld with garden vegetables in a fragrant, herb-infused broth that warms from the inside out.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup dry green lentils
2.5 oz cooked chicken breast
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup carrots
0.25 cup celery
1 clove garlic
2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried thyme
1 cup kale
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
In a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for 1 minute until the aroma is released.
Add the dry green lentils and pour in the chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken breast and chopped kale, cooking for another 3 minutes until the kale is wilted and the chicken is heated through.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, then stir in the fresh lemon juice just before serving.
