I read a really interesting book about nutrition called The F-Factor on the plane from Islip to Chicago, a suggestion from Taylor's mom. It made me really think about what foods are good for energy and nourishment, and when I invited my friend Shannon over for dinner, I thought the chicken soup recipe I found in the book would be the perfect hearty Wintertime meal.
The soup simmered chicken, parsnips, carrots, celery and onion in chicken broth. The recipe didn't call for them, but I added a little garlic powder, red pepper, black pepper, oregano and paprika to give it a little kick.
After I let the soup simmer for about an hour, I served it after a big spinach salad that Taylor made. The parsnips added a nice sweetness to the broth and the soup was really hearty from all the veggies. Yum!
Taylor says:
The sweetness in the soup was really nice. It was also pretty filling, what with all the chicken and veggies. A very nice dinner!
