Instructions
- If cooking chicken, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place 3 single chicken breasts on a pan lined with parchment paper.
- Pour a small amount of olive oil on top of the breasts and sprinkle generously with a combination herb seasoning (rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.) with no additives.
- Place chicken in the oven for 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Place a small amount of olive oil and the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in the bottom of an 8 quart (8 liter) pot and warm over medium heat.
- Stir until onions are transparent.
- Add chicken stock.
- Cover and continue to simmer on low.
- Once simmering, add 6 cups (1420 ml) of water and sprinkle with pepper and salt and continue to simmer covered.
- When vegetables are nearly soft, add the torn kale without stems.
- When chicken is cooked, cut or slice into small bite-sized pieces, or pull chicken from the bone if using leftover cooked whole chicken.
- Taste the soup and when the vegetables are soft and kale is cooked, add the pieces of chicken.
- Turn stove off and add the spiralized zucchini. (Only add the portion of spiralized zucchini that will be served immediately, as it will over soften in leftover soup. Additional raw spiralized zucchini can be added to the remaining soup when reheated and nearly warm to prevent over-softening.)
- Taste the soup and season with salt to taste.
