Ingredients
  

1 small yellow onion

½ celery heart

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon thyme

½ teaspoon oregano

1 can petite diced tomatoes

2 celery stalks, sliced

6 cups chicken broth

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

4 cups fresh arugula

  • Add chicken broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Once the soup has simmered and the vegetables are tender, add the shredded cooked chicken to the pot. Stir to combine and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Stir in the fresh arugula, allowing it to wilt in the hot soup. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the Arugula Chicken Soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot and enjoy!
