So you’ve got some leftover broccoli and kale? What do ya do? Throw it into this big pot of homemade chicken soup stalks and all! What a delicious healthy soup to warm you up on a cold drizzly day or any day you want soup! Grandma was right, after all: Chicken soup is good for the cold, not just the soul.
If you don't have time to cut up all the vegetables, there's no more excuse! You can usually find them diced up now in your grocer. Of course, for me, half the fun is dicing and slicing! What can I say, I love to cook! It's actually therapeutic!
