Cuisine: American / Mediterranean
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 cup celery (leaves and stems), chopped
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 2 cups potatoes, sliced (I used fingerlings)
- 2 cups zucchini, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Mediterranean seasoning
- 64 ounces chicken broth or bone broth
- parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- To a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil, onions and garlic. Stir to combine. Add the celery, carrots and potatoes. Stir to combine. (Feel free to add any vegetables you prefer, such as broccoli or green beans. I used fingerling potatoes and cut them into cute slices, but you can use whichever potatoes you prefer.)
- Add the chicken, zucchini and the seasoning. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Stir to combine. Sauté until chicken is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Cover and allow to simmer until all is cooked through and zucchini is tender (not mushy), about 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately in your favorite soup bowls and with a side of warm bread or crackers, if desired. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop in a saucepot. This soup freezes well.
