Immune-Boosting Chicken & Veggie Soup

Since most of us suddenly find ourselves with a ton of extra time being out of work and quarantined with this COVID-19 thing, why not try a new recipe that boosts your immune system and helps you feel and look healthy during these days being trapped in your apartment?😉

This recipe can totally be used for the Clean Eating Phase of my FAT LOSS GAME PLAN.

As usual, I don't recommend following my exact "recipe." This soup is super (pun intended;) adjustable. So have fun experimenting with different veggies and spices. Below is a list of the ingredients I used, with the step-by-step preparation in the video below:

3 lbs. skinless boneless chicken breast (chopped in 1 inch cubes)

2 cups mushrooms (chopped)

4 cloves garlic (chopped)

1 onion (chopped)

4 stalks celery (chopped)

2 carrots (chopped)

1 butternut squash (peeled & cubed)

½ head green cabbage (chopped)

2 cans diced tomatoes

48 oz chicken stock (plus 12-24 oz more depending on volume of veggies)

1 bunch watercress

butter

EVOO

garlic powder

onion powder

smoked Spanish paprika

soy sauce

For serving: fresh cilantro and grated Parmesan cheese

Not only will this recipe help you stay healthy during this crazy time, but it makes a TON of food. So you will have plenty for your weekly meal prep but also some leftovers to freeze for future food stores.
