21 Day Fix Chicken Soup

Here we are in the middle of the winter, and the last thing I want to do is eat a cold salad for lunch!  Brrrr!!!!! And in the Midwest, we like our soup on a cold winter's day.  This is my way of getting soup for lunch, yet still making it 21 Day Fix Friendly!  Oh...and by the way, this is SUPER easy!

21 Day Fix Chicken Soup (4 servings = 1 green, 1 red per serving)
Ingredients:
12 cups low sodium chicken broth, organic if possible
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 cups of veggies of your choice (I like to use frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, onions, and celery)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or dried sage)
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper (or to your liking)

Directions: Bring chicken broth to boil in a large stockpot, reduce heat to a simmer, add diced chicken, cook about 5 minutes in simmering broth.  Add all of your veggies and seasonings and cook an additional 10 minutes or until veggies are tender (but not mushy or falling apart). Remove bay leaf.  Divide soup into 4 containers and refrigerate until ready to eat!

(Using store bought chicken broth helps give this more of a homemade soup flavor that seems like it took you hours to make, but you know that it didn't!)
