Welcome to Eat Healthy with Laura; I'm going to teach you this recipe.

We'll need zucchini, onion, garlic, jalapeno, and chicken.

Use chicken thighs, remove the skin and fat before cooking.

Boil water and add salt, a piece of onion, and a garlic clove to flavor the chicken.

Add the chicken to the boiling water and let it boil until almost ready, then reduce heat to low.

Check if the chicken is ready by seeing if the skin gets soft from the bone.

Once ready, remove the chicken and get rid of the water to reduce fat.

Use clean water and add 2 zucchinis, cutting off the sides and chopping them into pieces.

Add a piece of onion and jalapeno to the pot with salt and boil together.

Separate the meat from the bone and add it back to the soup.

Blend the cooked zucchinis and jalapeno with half a garlic clove and some salt.

Taste the blended mixture and adjust salt if necessary, then add it back to the pot.

Add the chicken back to the pot and boil for another 10 minutes on high heat, then reduce to low heat.
