A Greek or an Italian salad is always a perfect complimentary dish to have with any soup.

Get creative with your choice of any ingredients. In August, for soups, I like...

• Chicken!!

•  extra olive virgin oil

• veggie or chicken broth

• carrots

• onion

• fresh dill

• lemon zest

• parsley

• salt and pepper to your liking

The Plan

Start food prepping...

Slice the veggies.

Set the veggies aside in a bowl.

Add seasonings and salt+pepper to a bowl and set it aside...

Clean the chicken...

Start cookin'...

Heat olive oil on medium heat in saucepan on stovetop. Add the veggies, seasonings and salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Add broth. Bring to a boil before reducing heat to simmer. Add the chicken. Cook until veggies are tender. Once cooked, take the chicken out, let it cool for 10+ minutes, then shred it and add it back to the pot.

Final Touches...

Add rice or noodles if you'd like. Stir in additional pepper and salt to your liking.
