Elina's Green Chicken Soup - Report!

FINALLY after being on this forum for over 18 months, I have made Elina's Green Chicken Soup.  I have died and gone to culinary heaven.  I am a *major* soup fan, I could eat soup all the time, especially in winter.  I don't really cook so much by recipe, so I made my own variation based on what I had on hand - a head of brocolli, celery, onions, 3 carrots, and my personal favorite - 2 lbs of frozen spinach.  Then, instead of chicken breast, I used 2 skinless rotisserie chickens from Sams.  Lots of broth, and seasoned with salt, curry powder, and some Salsa Lizano, which is a Costa Rican sauce that is sweet and spicy.  I made a HUGE pot and filled up the freezer.  No peas or beans.  I'm eating it for lunch right now!!  OMG the curry-spinach-chicken combo is so wonderful.  THANK YOU, ELINA!!

I am so glad you like it!  I love that you doctored it up to fit your taste and what you have on hand.  I do that too.  That way it never gets old.  I think this soup actually served as my not so secret weapon throughout my rapid weight loss phase.  I still use it anytime I need to lose a bit. 

My gf (who is not trying to lose weight) thought it was amazing, too!  We all need to eat our vegetables!!

I am glad she liked it.  I can even get my son to eat it, my daughter not so much.  I love that it's so easy on the sleeve.  I eat it when my sleeve feels extra tight.  Do be careful, as I have gotten into an unexpected situation after eating it for a few days.  My husband left me with a huge pot of this soup and I ate it almost exclusively for about three days.  Afterwords, we went out and I ate my usual size portion, but my sleeve had shrunk from eating just soup, and I got the foamies.  I will remember this if I ever feel that my capacity has increased too much.

Would you mind sharing your original recipe.
Thanks Tracey

Hi Tracey, just go to my profile page and it's on there in the blog section along with a bunch of other soup and salad recipes.  I also think Happy posted a direct link to it higher up on this post. 

Thanks I found it.  Looks good.  Do you know the caloric and protein caculations on it?
