Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potato, dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the chopped kale and let it cook for 5 more minutes, until wilted and tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a bright flavor, stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice, if desired.
Remove the bay leaf before serving, and ladle the soup into bowls. Enjoy warm!
