- Fresh Herbs: Add parsley at the end of cooking to retain its fresh taste and aroma.
- Optional Add-Ins: A squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of turmeric can enhance flavour and nutritional value.
VARIATIONS
- For A Heartier Meal: Add ¼ cup cooked brown rice or quinoa to increase fibre and satiety.
- For Low Sodium Diets: Choose no-salt-added bone broth and adjust seasoning after cooking.
- For More Vegetables: Include chopped spinach, kale or courgette for added nutrients and bulk.
- For Gut Health: Stir in a tablespoon of miso paste after cooking and off the heat, to preserve its probiotic benefits.
- For Paleo Or Keto Diets: Keep it grain-free and add extra chicken or avocado slices on top for healthy fats.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer Storage: Let the soup cool completely before freezing. Pour into a freezer-safe container, leaving space for expansion. Label and store for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat to preserve the nutrients and texture. Avoid boiling to keep the chicken tender and vegetables intact.
