Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup spinach or kale
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the chopped carrots and celery, cooking until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Next, add the shredded chicken, quinoa, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
  • Fold in the spinach or kale, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you desire a heartier texture, let the soup sit for a few minutes off the heat, allowing it to absorb more of the broth.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your Chicken Quinoa Soup with a slice of rustic bread or on its own!
