Healthy Green Chile Chicken Noodle Soup
This is the fastest and healthiest soup you will ever make. It originated when Jeremy was sick and I was trying to get him to eat anything. I had these things sitting around in my house, so I gave it a try.
Dump your bone broth into your pot. I just used a broth that I bought, but it’s very easy to make and freeze. I have a cast iron stew pot and it is the best! If you’re ever looking for an excellent gift for a cook, this is it. Add the additional water on top. You can also make it all bone broth, I just didn’t have that much in my house. Then add a heaping spoonful or two of garlic. Again, I used the minced garlic that I keep in the fridge.
Turn the heat on to high and get it up to boiling. While you’re waiting, chop all the vegetables. If you don’t like kale you can use any green leafy veggie.
Add them to pot. Also drain and add in the 3 cans of chicken. Stir in 1 teaspoon of green chile powder. Mine happens to be incredibly hot, so it doesn’t take much. If yours is a more mild spice feel free to add in more. It’s for taste only. Once it’s all boiling, turn it down to medium heat and let simmer for around 7 minutes. This is mainly to let the kale shrink down and soften the onions and carrots.
After the 7 minutes, add in the noodles and cook until the package says they will be done. Mine took 6 minutes, but I’m using gluten free noodles.
Serve! That’s seriously it.
