Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound 1 whole chicken
  • 1 celery stalk, choppedย  (including the leaves!)
  • 1 large leek, choppedย  (use the entire leek, including the dark green parts)
  • 3 carrots — 2 carrots peeled and diced, 1 carrot chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary
  • 1 bunchย  of Italian parsley, chopped, leaves and stems
  • 1 bunchย  of Kale, just the leaves
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • What makes this soup SO delicious is the homemade broth! If youโ€™re short on time, you can use store bought organic broth and a store bought rotisserie chicken. This homemade broth is SO easy, I highly recommend making it. You can throw it together in the morning and have it simmering away on your stove.
  • In a large pot combine the chicken, celery, leek, 1 carrot (roughly chopped), onion, bay leaf, thyme and season generously with salt and pepper. Fill the pot with water so that everything is fully covered, and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer on low for 2 hours.
  • Strain the stock into a clean pot and discard the cook vegetables BUTย reserve the chicken. Set the chicken aside and when itโ€™s cool enough to handle, pull all the meat off the chicken. ย Dice the chicken and add to the clean pot with the stock. ย  Add the 2 diced carrots and kale and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley and grated parmesan
