Garlicky Chicken Soup image

This recipe appeared in one of our Local Newspapers. However, I made some modifications and added some spices and vegetables. Turned out real good. A nice light soup.

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped very small
2 large carrots, scrubbed and chopped very small
3 stalks celery, chopped into small pieces
2 large bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
8 large garlic cloves, finely grated
8 cups chicken broth or 8 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
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.
