Chicken Apple Sausage, Kale, and Rice Soup image

I had some leftovers in my fridge and needed to make a quick, nutritious lunch for my son who was not feeling well. I managed to get enough mileage from these ingredients for a family of four to eat lunch off of..woohoo! It was very yummy, soothing, healthful, economical, and low in Weight Watcher points (2 points per serving to be exact, 10 points for the whole pot)..double yay!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon coconut oil (or other oil)
1/2 onion, large
1 carrot, large
1 stalk celery
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de provence, dried
1 sausage, chicken apple (I used Aidell's from Costco)
4 -5 cups chicken broth
2 leaves kale, large
1/2 cup brown rice (cooked)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • fincely dice the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic cloves. I actually put all of these veggies minus the celery in my Vitamix on the #4 variable setting (check the manual for further instructions) and it makes quick work of them. I cut the celery by hand though.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a soup pot over medium high heat.
  • Add the veggies to the oil and stir. Cook until veggies are softened.
  • Add herbs de provence, stir. Turn the heat down if necessary to prevent the veggies from over cooking.
  • Dice the sausage. I use precooked sausage. If yours is raw, you will need to cook it first (I think.I haven't made it with raw sausage). I cut the sausage lengthwise into 8 strips and then cut across to make a small dice. Add to the veggies and cook for a few minutes -- allowing the juices in the sausage to come out and permeate the mix.
  • Add 4-5 cups of chicken broth. I added a whole container of the boxed broth. Bring to a boil.
  • While waiting for the soup to boil, take the stalk out of the kale leaves and chop the leaves into small bits. Add to the boiling soup. Add the rice. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This soup is so flavorful and comforting. The chicken is tender, the apples add a touch of sweetness, and the sausage gives it a nice smoky flavor. I also love the addition of kale, which gives the soup a boost of nutrition.
