Chicken, Kale and Egg Drop Soup

no noodle chicken noodle

My family loves soup.  In particular, we love chicken noodle soup.  I was determined to create a version that was as satisfying as the original as well as Check Yourself approved.  I was inspired by the traditional Italian Straciatella (meaining little rag) soup.  The eggs form the "little rags" by pouring the beaten mixture into very hot broth and then finsish the soup with Kale.

Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/2 pounds cooked boneless skinless chicken breast shredded
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 carrots diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin olive Oil
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • Large handful of Kale

Directions

  • In a pot over medium high burner heat oil

  • Add carrots and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes

  • Stir the veggies occasionally

  • Add broth, salt and pepper

  • Bring broth to a boil

  • Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the broth while continually stirring the broth with a fork

  • Add the greens and cook until wilted

  • Season soup with salt and pepper and serve.
