Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Chicken, Spinach, and Potato Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large saucepan and combine your chicken, water, and chicken stock.
Step 2
Place it over medium-high heat and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Once you see those lovely bubbles, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 4
When the chicken is ready, carefully remove it from the pot and set it aside to cool, but don’t forget to save that flavorful cooking liquid for later.
Step 5
While the chicken cools, heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 6
Toss in your sliced onion and chopped garlic, stirring them around until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Next, add the cubed potatoes to the pot and strain the reserved cooking liquid right into it.
Step 8
Turn up the heat to high and bring everything to a boil.
Step 9
Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, which will take around 25 minutes.
Step 10
Now that your chicken has cooled, cut it into bite-sized cubes and add it to the pot with the simmering potatoes.
Step 11
Let it cook together for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 12
Then, stir in the garbanzo beans, fresh spinach, and roasted red peppers if you’re using them.
Step 13
Allow everything to simmer for another 10 minutes, filling your kitchen with delicious aromas.
Step 14
Before you serve, season with salt and pepper to taste, and don’t forget to sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 15
Enjoy your hearty and comforting dish!.
