6 servings
Servings4
1/2 yellow onion
1 garlic clove
2 celery sticks
8 ounces pre-sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt
black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 cup jasmine white rice
4 cups pre-cooked shredded chicken
6-7 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups kale
1/4 cup light coconut milk

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, and thighs are often less expensive than breasts.

1

Dice half of a yellow onion into small pieces.

2

Chop one garlic clove.

3

Chop two celery sticks into small pieces.

4

Remove stems from kale leaves and chop about 1 1/2 cups of kale.

5

Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

6

Sauté the diced onion and chopped celery until tender.

7

Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

8

Add in 8 ounces of pre-sliced mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes; stir to combine.

9

Stir in 1 cup of jasmine white rice and 4 cups of pre-cooked shredded chicken.

10

Pour in 6-7 cups of chicken broth and stir well.

11

Bring the mixture to a low boil, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

12

After 20 minutes, check the rice; if the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth to thin it out.

13

Add in fresh parsley and the chopped kale, stirring to combine.

14

Finally, stir in 1/4 cup of light coconut milk and wilt the kale.
