Nutrition Tips

To boost vegetables, add 1 cup chopped leeks with soup mix and/or add 1 cup chopped fresh green beans in final 5 minutes of cooking.

To boost whole grains, add 1/2 cup quick-cooking brown rice or 1/2 cup whole grain quinoa and 1 cup water with soup mix.

To cut saturated fat, remove any skin from chicken breast.

To cut sodium prepare with low sodium broth. To cut sodium further, substitute water for half of the broth.

Inventive Variation

Easy preparation of delicious bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts:

1. Place chicken into 3 or 4-quart pot with cold water to cover.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
3. Turn off heat, allow pot to cool 30 minutes or longer.
4. Remove chicken from water.
5. Pull the breast meat off the bone, discarding the bones and skin.
6. Using two forks, shred the breast meat into bite size pieces.

Soup will be thick and hearty. Save a cup of your chicken cooking water to add to soup, if desired.
