Healthy Serving:
Chicken Escarole Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 chicken breast, skinned and boned
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced parsley
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 lb. escarole, spinach or Swiss chard, trimmed
  • 1 large ripe tomato, peeled, cored, seeded and chopped

In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring chicken broth and water to a simmer. Add the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, and pepper. Cover and cook until chicken is tender—about 20 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. Stir the escarole and tomato into saucepan and simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, return it to the saucepan and bring soup to serving temperature. Serves 4.
