Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 carrots sliced
  • 4 stalks celery slices
  • 1 small sweet onion diced
  • 3 roma tomatoes diced
  • 4-8 cloves sliced or diced garlic
  • 48 oz chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 3-5 diced up chicken breast
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 blocks Knorr chicken bullion
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1-2 cups noodles of your choice
  • 1 can white northern beans

Method
 

  1. Dice your onions and slice your carrots, garlic, and celery.
  2. Heat up your olive oil in your pan and then add your vegetables and beans.
  3. Once your vegetables become fragrant and begin to soften add your tomatoes and let them cook down.
  4. Once the tomatoes are cooked down add your broth and let it simmer until the carrots are soft. Add your bullion cube. I like Knorr, they’re very flavorful. About 40 minutes or so.
  5. Dice up your chicken breast.
  6. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet and add your chicken breast and seasoning. I added Tony Chachere’s.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked through, put to the side. This goes in last. We don’t want dry chicken in the soup. Keep the broth to add to the soup.
  8. Once the carrots are soft add your noodles add 2 cups of water to your soup and noodles. Don’t add the whole pack of noodles only about 1/4 to 1/2 depending on how noodly you like your chicken garden minestrone soup.
  9. Let the noodles simmer until soft and then add your spinach. For a full batch use a whole bag. It’ll take a minute for it to cook down.
  10. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with warm rolls or biscuits!

Notes

For a regular batch 4 cloves of garlic should be good, unless you just love garlic. If anyone is sick, I generally a LOT more garlic.
