To Cure What Ails You Chicken Leek Soup


I cooked this up the day after the big snow storm and our electricity had been off since the evening before. I can't believe how good this soup came out. So easy and sure to cure what ails you! Especially those snowed in winter blues!

3cups thin sliced leeks(round slices)
2 leaves Kale, remove large vein
1TBSP Olive Oil
handful chopped italian parsley
1/2 cup chopped Dill tops
64 oz chicken broth
1 full breast chicken cut into chunks
salt and pepper to taste

Saute leeks in olive oil medium heat in bottom of deep pot until soft, 5-8 minutes, stir occasionally so as to not brown.
Throw in parsley, dill and broth, bring to a boil.
Once boiling add chicken and turn down to simmer for 20 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste. You can add more spices if you like but the leeks and dill really make this soup wonderful!
