Instructions
-1 To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil, onion, celery, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 7-8 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently. -1 Add the garlic, chicken, evenly sprinkle with Italian seasoning, pepper, and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until chicken is about two-thirds of the way cooked through; stir nearly constantly to ensure even cooking. -1 Add the tomatoes and juice, artichokes, chicken broth, optional zucchini, and boil about 5 minutes, or chicken is cooked through. -1 Add the beans, kale, turn off the heat, and allow kale to wilt, about 1 to 2 minutes. -1 Taste the soup and add salt to taste. Depending on your preference for salt, and how salty your ingredients were (the stock, tomatoes, beans), the amount of salt will vary. -1 Optionally add the lemon juice, cayenne pepper (read the blog post while I highly recommend both), and serve immediately.View original recipe
