• Season sliced chicken generously with paprika, oregano, basil, and salt.
• In a large soup pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook medium-high heat until browned on both sides. The chicken does not have to be cooked all the way through, as it will continue to cook in the soup.

• Add chopped tomatoes, red kidney beans, fresh spinach, and minced garlic to the pan.

Add the potatoes, then strain the reserved cooking liquid into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

• When the soup is at a simmer, add the chicken and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes just to warm through. Then add the spinach leaves, and cook for a few seconds or until the leaves just wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH SPINACH, EGGPLANT & TOMATO

Steps:

• Place eggplant in a large colander and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes (sweating the eggplant). Rinse thoroughly to remove salt and drain well.
• In a large non-stick pot, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil and garlic over medium heat, being careful not to burn the garlic (approx. 2 minutes).
• Add eggplant to pot and saute for 12 minutes.
• Add onion; saute until translucent.
• Add diced tomatoes (including liquid), dried thyme, and salt & pepper. Bring to boil. Then, simmer for 30 minutes stirring often and gently to break up tomatoes.
• Meanwhile, place thawed spinach into colander and use your hands to squeeze out any excess water; set aside.
• Add chicken broth, chicken, and spinach. Simmer 30 minutes.
• Serve with crusty French bread.
• NOTES: Eggplant is a thirsty vegetable and will soak up olive oil when sauteing. Do not be afraid to add extra oil as needed. If using store-bought chicken broth, then reduce to 4 cups and add 2 cups water.
