I found this delicious recipe at Tamara Leigh: The Kitchen Novelist’s website. Tamara has some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G recipes. I usually want to try everything she makes! Check out her blog sometime.
This flavorful soup is chocked full of potatoes, chick peas, chicken and other vegetables.This creamy soup has no dairy and no gluten . Your family will love this hearty, tasty soup.
.
Salt and pepper two chicken breasts. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through. (If you cook more chicken than this you will have to increase the cooking time).
While chicken is cooking add a glug of olive oil to a really large sauteuse pan or Dutch oven.
Add diced onions.
Cut the green tops off a leek and discard. Wash the white part of the leek really well.
Slice leek and add to skillet.
Add diced celery.
Add thyme.
Add rubbed sage.
Add pepper.
Add salt.
Add a heaping tablespoon of dried parsley.
Add a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic from a jar.
used whole container of chicken broth after the other veggies in the pan sauteed for a bit.
Here the veggies are sauteing in the olive oil in the skillet.
Peel and cube potatoes.
Add chicken broth.
added the chicken broth.
Add cubed, peeled potatoes.
Add matchstick carrots.
Rinse and drain chick peas.
Add chick peas to skillet.
Remove cooked chicken from oven. Remove fat.
Slice down and then cube chicken meat.
Add chicken to skillet/sauce pan.
stirred all the ingredients together. Cover with lid and simmer about 25-30 minutes.
After the veggies are tender use an emulsion blender to blend the soup ingredients. Puree only about half the soup so you leave some texture. You want some of the texture to remain so don’t go crazy with the blender.
There were still some chunks remaining in this soup when I was done.
Chop spinach. Add to stock pot.
Here’s what the soup looks like
Here’s a spoonful of this delicious soup.
Lots of thick carrots, potatoes, chick peas, and chicken in every mouthful.
Here’s the recipe.
1 glug olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 leek, green top removed, sliced
1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic from a jar
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried sage
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. dried parsley
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, salted and peppered, then baked and cubed
2-1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
1-15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup matchstick carrots
2 cups de-stemmed fresh baby spinach, chopped
To large soup pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil; add onions, celery, thyme, sage, and black pepper and cook 6-7 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender. Add chicken broth, chicken, potatoes, chickpeas, and carrots and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and cook 25 minutes. Using an immersion blender*, puree soup lightly (you’ll want to retain the texture of some whole veggies and chicken); stir in spinach, immediately remove from heat, and serve. Servings: 4 dinner-sized portions.
NOTE: If you don’t have an immersion blender, puree half the soup in a regular blender (Careful! Soup is hot!), then stir pureed soup back into un-pureed soup.
