Chicken Soup
3.5 oz Chicken Breast, diced
1/2 cup Celery, sliced
1/2 small Onion, diced
1 cup fat-free Chicken Broth
Water, to taste
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Basil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
(you can add any seasonings you like - try Bragg's, Chili Powder, Tobasco, etc. and let me know what you liked best!)
Heat chicken broth in sauce pan. Add onion and celery and cook for about 5 minutes. Add seasonings and chicken, let simmer until chicken is done. Taste and add water as needed until it's just right.
I quadrupled this recipe so I have 3 more meals ready to heat. I ordered a bulk package of gladware containers - these for meals like this, and some smaller ones for freezing meat portions.
I am in P2 -Cooked this recipe yesterdayrainy and cold day, perfect day for a warm soup and a break from grilled chicken and salad... , substituted whatever i had in the fridge, red pepper, onion, lettuce all chopped and sauteed, 2 chicken breast cubed, 1 tomato, salt, cumin, chopped garlic, cilandro and chicken soup base...came out very good!!! It feeled me up nice, and warmed my stomach.Counted a soup bowl 1 protein and 1 vegetable, this recipe is a winner, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteQuick question, I see you mince an onion on a lot of your recipes but then you have another veggie that you count as your 1 veggie. Can you explain how this works & is ok? I would love to know I can mince an onion and not have it count for my 1 veggie!
ReplyDeleteI don't count onion and garlic as veggies, but as spices. It worked fine for me and many others I know, but as always, be cautious at first and make sure it doesn't affect you before doing it regularly. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog & good post.Its really helpful for me, awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!
ReplyDeleteIndian spices
I add chopped cabbage and cayenne pepper. It works for me that way, it has never caused a slow down. I have also used left over grilled chicken with lemon pepper before, it added more flavor.
ReplyDeleteDid you make your own broth? I've checked a lot of broths, and they all seem to have sugar listed on the ingredients. I'm sure it isn't much, but just wondered what you used.
ReplyDeleteHi! I didn't on P2, no, because I wanted the least amount of fat on P2. I used Swanson broth and in the large carton it lists 1g of sugar but it isn't in the ingredients, so I think it must be from some of the veggies used to make the broth. I'm ok with it. As long as sugar isn't listed at all in the ingredients I feel ok about using shortcuts (of course monitoring to make sure they don't cause a gain).

ReplyDeleteCan you substitute the chicken with lean grass feed beef like a stew?
ReplyDeleteMaking this tomorrow ! Thanks !
ReplyDeletequick question: how do you equally seperate them into 2 or 3 servings ? I feel like my meat portions are all of when I seperate. Today I made beef chili and I thought I halved it but when I was packing my lunch for the other half, seemed like there was a lot more beef in it. I added green peppers in it too. Do you just eye ball it ?
ReplyDeleteI made this recipe tonight. I used an eight ounce carton of no salt no fat chicken broth and added about 6oz of water. 2 cups of cabbage and spices and 3.5 oz chicken. I hope I don't slow down I have been doing so good. They soup was delicious!! Your recipes are the bomb!! Do you have a website??
