This was a lovely soup to have, even in warmer weather. Although I must admit, come autumn and winter I am a bit of soup fiend. They are definitely one of my comfort foods. I am not a massive fan of asparagus, but having a very limited choice of veg during phase 2 I am expanding my repertoire of meals.
Ingredients:
100gr lean chicken breast whole
1 clove garlic
1c diced fresh asparagus (broccoli works well too)
1/2 leek cut very thin
S&P
Method:
Cover chicken breast with water in pot and season with fresh garlic and S&P. Simmer until breast is very tender. Add cup of diced asparagus and ½ leek cut thin. Continue to simmer until veg is also very tender. Remove chicken and shred. Blend veg and liquid and pour into bowl, add chicken and re-season to taste.
You can use home made chicken stock for more flavour too but during phase 2 you need to be very sure you have removed ALL fat from the stock.

This looks yummy. Is the leek considered an onion, so its a free food in phase two?

DeleteYes, the leeks are a free food. I have since found I can't eat many as they inflame my sinus something terrible.
