2 large carrots, scrubbed and chopped very small

2 large bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 cup fresh cauliflower floret
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch cubes

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat.
Add onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, thyme and sage and cook until onions softens and becomes translucent, about 8 minutes,,stirring occasionally.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute on medium-high heat.
Add broth, white pepper, salt, and cauliflower florets; increase heat to high and bring to boil.
Reduce heat to low; cover pot and simmer until carrots are softened, about 6 - 8 minutes.
Add chicken cubes and bring soup back to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through and there is no pink showing in the chicken.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove bay leaves and discard.
Serve soup hot.
Refrigerate any unused portion.
NOTE: If you like a spicy soup, add about 1 teaspoon of Mexican Chili Powder and some Cayenne Pepper.
I also went very light on the amount of salt used, so the soup could be somewhat bland, add salt to your taste.

GARLICKY BARLEY VEGETABLE CHICKEN SOUP FOR ONE OR TWO

Garlicky Barley Vegetable Chicken Soup for One or Two image

This is from the new Cinch Yourself cookbook. I can all my own tomatoes and I think that gives this dish a little extra great taste. This is a great dish for leftover barley. It will require more time if you have to cook the barley.
