Chicken and Kale Soup
The recipe goes together quickly which is great when you have bronchitis. My daughter came home from Vermont with it and of course, I just had to get it. Yuck!
All you need to do is brown the onions and chicken, I know it does not look like I browned the chicken in the picture, but I did. It seemed to change color when I cooked it.
Add the broth and heat through. Add the kale and simmer about 5 minutes. Serve with basil and Parmesan cheese. Dinner is ready!
Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around and this is a great way to enjoy it. I don't know if it will cure my bronchitis but it sure made me feel better.
You could add other vegetables like potatoes, carrot, or leeks to this and it would be great too. Maybe next time I will.
