Directions
Basil Chicken Soup, Low fat and low calorie in this wonderful tasting soup I have been making it in my slow cooker adding 2 chicken drumsticks on high for 4 hours Remove the chicken to debone; omit the flour and it is excellent I add my frozen bail last 1/2 hour , Have an excess of basil growing in my garden Loved the fragrance and taste of it in this soup recipe I doubled the chicken for more body Needed a good shot of salt and pepper for my taste Enjoyed with Italian Parmesan Bread for lunch Thanks , I made this soup this evening for DH and I to take for lunch tomorrow I love it! The broth is really delicious–love the taste of the fresh basil Admittedly, I tried to cheat by buying cooked chicken already in diced cubes–I wont do that again It kind of detracted from the taste in a way that fresh chicken would not I thought the broth was so good that you don’t even need to add the chicken necessarily, if you just want it to be an all veggie, chicken-flavored soup I grated fresh parm into the soup, but could not really tell the difference, so I might omit it next time I’ll definitely make this soup again Thanks, Rita!
