Italian Chicken Noodle Soup

I love this soup. It takes no more then 45 minutes from start to table.

We eat a lot of soup in our house. Every few months I do an hCG weight-loss round occasionally and this soup is acceptable protocol for hCG weight-loss. It's got lots of flavor and is very satisfying. 

Italian Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbls coconut oil
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 carton vegetable broth
• 1 carton chicken broth
• 4 to 6 chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 to 2 Tbls minced garlic (from the tube)
• 4 tsp minced basil, (I used frozen organic cubes)
• 4 heaping Tbls organic tomato paste
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, 2 cups if using fresh
• 2 cups kelp noodles (well rinsed) I bought these at EarthFare
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Saute onions and celery in coconut oil till translucent in large soup pot.
2. Add broths, chicken breast pieces, tomato paste, garlic, and basil.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook until chicken is cooked through.
5. Add spinach and well rinsed kelp noodles 5 minutes before serving.

If you can't find the kelp noodles you can leave them out. However that will make this soup, Italian Chicken Noodle-less Soup.

Enjoy your food.
