Chicken Soup Recipe
Hearty Chicken and Collard Greens Soup is a low-fat, highly nutritious hearty soup for these cold Winter days. We make soup probably twice a week, once during the week and then on the weekend. Chicken Soup can be made 100 different ways. With noodles, with beans, with vegetables and well you have the idea. I love the smell of Chicken Soup simmering on the stove all day. We added home-made croutons to make the Chicken Soup very hearty and filling.
Chicken Soup is a great meal to eat when you’re trying to eat hardy and lose weight. You can add as many vegetables to it as you want along with more protein when adding beans. Chicken Soup is a great leftover too. Add it to a crust and make a Chicken Potpie. I love my memories of soup cooking on the stove all day or in the crockpot. Even though my mom was home all day she was very organized in the kitchen so she could spend time with my dad when he was home from work. Hope you enjoy!

You really can’t beat a yummy bowl of chicken soup. I bet the use of thighs makes the broth have even more of a rich chicken flavor.

Chicken soup is the perfect meal for these super cold, crappy winter days. I would probably substitute kale for the collard greens. I can’t stand the smell or flavor of collard greens. Everything else in the recipe looks and sounds really good and good for you.

This sounds like a great recipe! I am gonna have to make this for myself. My husband won’t eat it cause he is not a fan of cooked veggies, but looks good to me.

Oh I like those big croutons in there. I’ve never thought of adding croutons to chicken soup, I’ve only had them with tomato or french onion. Now I’m wondering why!!

That looks good, I could use some on a cold day like today.

I like the addition of collard greens and beans to your soup. Seems like it would make it much more hearty than a traditional noodle soup.
adecheine
I thought so too!
Toni
