Today, I’ll share this ground chicken and kale soup I made recently. I bought some ground chicken over the weekend simply because it was on sale. I love to win whenever I go to the grocery store, which is my way of winning where savings and freshness are concerned. But two days had passed, and I still couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with this chicken, so I ignored it for another day, which is precisely what you would have done, right?
Anyway, I came home from work one evening, went to the kitchen, and started to think about dinner. I opened the fridge, and there it was, a pound of ground chicken staring at me; so did what a responsible foodie would do and whipped up this ground chicken and kale soup.
Hearty Ground Chicken and Kale Soup
This hearty ground chicken and kale soup is the perfect filling soup to have when you need something to warm your stomach.
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken)
6 leaves kale - removed stalks and chopped
3 stalks celery - chopped
1 medium acorn squash - peeled, removed seeds, and dice
3 medium carrots - chopped
1 small yellow onion - chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
3 packs chicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon) - powdered
1 can corn
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup water
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and then sautee in 2 tablespoons of heated oil. Stir after 5 minutes to get the other sides to cook.
- Once cooked (about 10 minutes total), remove from heat and set aside. In a deep pot, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil and saute celery, carrots, and onion until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add 4 cups of water, acorn squash, and 2 packets of bouillon, and cook for 15 minutes. Add corn, chicken and kale, and more water if needed. Taste and then add 1/2 or the whole packet of the remaining bouillon.
- I used 1/2 packet first and then a little more, and it was perfect. So after your season, cook for another 15 minutes and serve hot with croissants and your favorite salad to get to your desired taste.
