Рецепт Tuscan Chicken Soup
When I saw the recipe for Tuscan Chicken Stew on South Your Mouth, I knew I had to try it. It just looked so good. Of course, I didn't quite follow the original recipe, but I did use basically the same ingredients, and I kept all the seasonings the same. I think it turned out great.
This soup is sure to become a favorite around here. I will definitely be making it again. It's super flavorful and easy to make.
Tuscan Chicken Soup
adapted from South Your Mouth
Ingredients:
- 1-2 T olive oil
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 3 carrots, diced
- 5 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 15-oz. can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
Directions:
Heat oil in large Dutch oven (6 quart); add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and celery; cook until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are soft, stirring frequently. Add seasonings and cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Stir in carrots, potatoes, beans, and tomatoes and then add broth, water and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes with lid slightly cracked, stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Cook a few minutes longer if needed, until carrots and potatoes are done.
I made this soup one day and then reheated it the next. I think all soups get better when you reheat them, and some absolutely have to be made a day before you want to eat it. I think this one would be good either way. I made fresh cornbread to go with the soup, which was really good. It would also be good with some nice crusty bread.
I used the1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, and the soup had a nice kick to it. My husband, who does not like his food very spicy at all, didn't complain and really liked the soup, but if you don't like a lot of spice you'll probably want to cut the measurement down to 1/4 tsp. - at least the first time.
