Zucchinis abound in my garden this year! This is a great thing because I get to come up with a lot of interesting recipes. Today I made a pepper soup with garden vegetable and chicken. It was delicious and a hit with my kids and husband. We were at the Ulster County fair all day and needed a quick and easy dinner when we got home. Trying to keep to our budget and eat healthy we didn’t go for the usual pizza on a busy day. Instead I whipped up this soup which took only 1 hour start to finish. I even used frozen chicken because I forgot to take the chicken out before we left.
1 pound chicken breast
1 can crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 onion diced
1 carrot diced
3 stalks celery diced
1 zucchini diced
1 roasted pepper diced
1 cup spinach
½ cup fresh basil
1 tsp dried oregano
Place all ingredients in Dutch oven and cook one hour. Enjoy!
