Elina's Green Chicken Soup - Report!
FINALLY after being on this forum for over 18 months, I have made Elina's Green Chicken Soup. I have died and gone to culinary heaven. I am a *major* soup fan, I could eat soup all the time, especially in winter. I don't really cook so much by recipe, so I made my own variation based on what I had on hand - a head of brocolli, celery, onions, 3 carrots, and my personal favorite - 2 lbs of frozen spinach. Then, instead of chicken breast, I used 2 skinless rotisserie chickens from Sams. Lots of broth, and seasoned with salt, curry powder, and some Salsa Lizano, which is a Costa Rican sauce that is sweet and spicy. I made a HUGE pot and filled up the freezer. No peas or beans. I'm eating it for lunch right now!! OMG the curry-spinach-chicken combo is so wonderful. THANK YOU, ELINA!!
I am glad she liked it. I can even get my son to eat it, my daughter not so much. I love that it's so easy on the sleeve. I eat it when my sleeve feels extra tight. Do be careful, as I have gotten into an unexpected situation after eating it for a few days. My husband left me with a huge pot of this soup and I ate it almost exclusively for about three days. Afterwords, we went out and I ate my usual size portion, but my sleeve had shrunk from eating just soup, and I got the foamies. I will remember this if I ever feel that my capacity has increased too much.
