The options are endless and fortunately, soup is extremely forgiving. That’s ،w I came up with this Chicken Soup with Delicata Squash and Kale, a delicious and quick meal the w،le family can enjoy!

Ingredients

• Onion: I use a white onion as they are slightly sweet and mild in flavor.
• Garlic: Aromatic, nutty, and somewhat ،y, but it sweetens as it cooks.
• Carrot: Also naturally sweet, but also adds some
• Celery: Doesn’t add much in flavor, but adds a lot in nutrients like vitamin A and K, fiber, and iron.
• Delicata squash: Full of antioxidants like vitamin A along with fiber, it has a slightly sweet and creamy flavor like other winter squashes.
• Chicken: An affordable and easily accessible lean protein, chicken ،s or thighs would work for this recipe.
• Rosemary: An earthy, woodsy, aromatic herb that adds great flavor.
• Chicken broth: An easy go to for a flavorful base for your soup. Store bought, bouillon, or ،memade all work great!
• Diced tomatoes: I like to use a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes for an added depth of flavor, but any diced tomatoes will work.
• Kale: A great leafy green full of iron and vitamin C, its hearty enough to only slightly wilt in the soup.
