chicken soup for the blogger's soul...

a few what's cooking wednesdays ago, our dear fairy blogmother was feeling under the weather. sadly at that time it was still hovering around 90 degrees here by the bay & my nifty lil' camera was lacking the support photos, so i couldn't do a special get-well soup for shan. well, we recently had a shift in temperature, a circulating first-of-season cold & leftover chicken that inspired me to get moving on this recipe. so if you are feeling under the weather, this one's dedicated to you!

*heat some extra virgin olive oil in a stock pot...add diced garlic, red onion & celery...saute until softened.
*add chicken broth, chopped celery leaves, diced carrots, green beans, sliced squash, & diced canned tomatoes...cook til veggies are tender.
*add diced cooked chicken
*season with fresh ground pepper, sea salt, tumeric, & curry...all to taste
*for the amounts of veggies & broth, i vary it to taste & amount of chicken i have for the soup...be creative & experiment with amounts that please you!

buon appetito!

Wow! That looks wonderful! (And Weight Watcher friendly) Funny, that every blog I visit tonight has someone cooking or eating something yummy. Must be the settling-in of fall.

It truly sounds yummy. It's early morning and I am hankering for some soup. I agree with Leslie, it must be a fall thing because it's still pretty hot in my neck of the woods.

Where are you headed in Bella Italia??? Lucky you!
