Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon
  • Ladle

Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup potatoes, diced

1 cup fresh spinach

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté The Aromatics

  • I start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. I add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add The Vegetables

  • Next, I stir in the sliced carrots and celery. I season them with salt, black pepper, and rosemary, allowing the flavors to meld for another 5 minutes.

Simmer The Broth

  • I pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, I reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

Add The Chicken And Potatoes

  • Now, I add the shredded chicken and diced potatoes to the pot. I let the soup simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Incorporate The Spinach

  • I stir in the fresh spinach, letting it wilt for about 2 minutes. This adds a burst of color and nutrients to the soup.

Finish With Lemon Juice

  • For a hint of brightness, I add a splash of lemon juice just before serving. This step is optional but highly recommended.

Notes

Rosemary has a strong flavor, so start with a small amount and adjust to your taste. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out once it’s in!
