Leave the white flour noodles behind for green escarole
Warm up with this soothing, nutrient-rich chicken soup. Instead of soggy white flour noodles, we’ve tossed in a bunch of hearty green escarole, full of folic acid, fiber, and vitamins A and K. The chicken is a great source of protein, of course, and also provides nearly all the vitamin D3 (niacin) that you need in a day. Flavor-wise, there are plenty of delicious veggies besides the escarole, plus a refreshing pop of lemon juice and fresh dill. This soup cooks in 32 minutes flat!
