Serves: 2

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp ghee

• 1/2 brown onion, diced

• 1-2 medium carrots, sliced

• 2 celery stalks, sliced

• 1 tbsp grated ginger

• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cooked chicken breast, diced (or rotisserie chicken)

• 2 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup hot water

• Salt, pepper, and 1 tsp oregano

• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sauté the aromatics: In a medium pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until soft and translucent. This creates a flavorful base for your soup.

2. Add vegetables and spices: Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the vegetables start to soften.

3. Add the chicken and broth: Stir in the diced chicken (either cooked breast or rotisserie chicken) along with the chicken broth and hot water. Bring the soup to a boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Simmer: Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to fully develop.

5. Season and garnish: Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

6. Serve and enjoy! Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy a warm, comforting meal. I love serving mine with a slice of sourdough and butter!
