    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
    • 1 pound chicken breast or tenders, sliced
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1 small onion chopped

    • 3 cups fresh spinach

    Instructions 

    • Season sliced chicken generously with paprika, oregano, basil, and salt. 
    • In a large soup pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook medium-high heat until browned on both sides. The chicken does not have to be cooked all the way through, as it will continue to cook in the soup.
    • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan.  Add chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped carrot and cook for another minute on medium-high heat. 
    • Add chopped tomatoes, red kidney beans, fresh spinach, and minced garlic to the pan. 
    • Add chicken broth and water. Add ½ teaspoon of oregano and ½ teaspoon basil. 
    • Bring to boil and then simmer for about 20-30 minutes until the carrots are soft and the chicken is completely cooked through. Season with salt to taste.

      To make this a low sodium dish use salt feee beans, salt free chicken stock or homemade and eliminate the salt. A good salt substitute is a drizzle of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.

      Just the recipe I was looking for. On a rainy day I happened to have all of the ingredients. Your soup recipe was easy to follow & it was delish!
      Cant wait to try more of your recipes.
      Thank you!

      Tried this with a few deviations. I left out the chicken. Then I swapped the kidney beans with garbanzo beans and a red bell pepper for the green one. Added some crushed red pepper and it is delicious. Froze two containers for lunch in the coming weeks. Thank you.

        Gordon, this soup makes 5 servings - so I just corrected the amount of servings from 10 to 5! 🙂

      I made this soup for dinner last night and it was so delicious! I’m bringing some to work for lunch to share! A few of my family members suggested next time add more seasonings and beef stock and add noodles. I’m going to make it again!

      Love making soups in the Fall and this one was really tasty! I used a can of stewed tomatoes, red pepper vs green pepper and added spinach at very end - and it turned out great! Thank you for this healthy and delicious recipe!

      Super tasty!! I followed the written instructions and didn't realize the video was different, i wish i had followed the video, I think it would have come out differently! Still yummy, I added some celery which i recommend.

      Made this tonight. Delicious and healthy. My only change would be to add the spinach at the end so it’s just wilted but still a nice bright green.

      Such a tasty soup! We loved it! Had to improvise slightly as Covid pantry was a bit different but nothing radically changed. Will be making again for sure.
