Chicken Lentil Soup

     Nothing is easier and tastier than a big bowl of soup.  Isn’t it nice to have a week’s worth of meals all in one pot.  Divide this up into 6 servings for lunch or dinner all week, or throw some in the freezer for later.  I was able to put a few in the freezer when I was preparing for coming back from being out of town.  My favorite trick for being organized after travel.  Each of these generous 2 cup servings are only 337 calories, 36g carbs, 8g fiber, 28g net carbs, 36g protein and 5.5g fat.  If you want to make it a heartier meal, serve it over Brown Rice, and spice it up with a little Salsa on top!  This is a high nutrient bowl of deliciousness!😋

Ingredients for 6 servings~

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic

1 chopped Onion

1 pound diced cleaned and sliced Carrots

1 Bunch cleaned and sliced Celery

6 cups Broth

14.5oz can diced Tomatoes or sub with Salsa

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1 Tablespoon Cumin

1.5 pounds Chicken Breast

1.5 cups Lentils

     Add Oil, Garlic, Onion, Carrots, and Celery in large stock pot, heat on low til Onions are slightly browned and vegetables are softened.  Add Broth, Tomatoes, Chili Powder, Cumin, Chicken and Lentils til simmering for 20-30 minutes, or til Chicken is cooked thru.  Remove Chicken Breast from pot, shred with two forks and stir back in.  Divide into generous 2 cup servings, store in containers and use as desired.  Garnish with Salsa if preferred, not included in macros.  Enjoy 😉
