Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the water and simmer the chicken with ½ carrot, ½ celery, onion, black peppercorns and bay leaf for approximately 2 hours; skim the broth to remove the fat.
  • In a large skillet, sauté the remaining carrot, celery, asparagus and leeks in olive oil for 3-4 minutes or until slightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, strain the broth into another pot (remove and discard the bay leaf) and place back onto the stove top to simmer.

  • Remove soup from the heat and fold in chicken, spinach and tomatoes. Allow soup to rest 30 minutes before serving.
