Creamy Chicken And Zucchini Soup

Time 10 minutesServes 4Ingredients

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

butter (1 Tbsp)

3 chicken breast fillets, thinly sliced

Approx 1 3/4 lbs grated zucchini

1 grated onion (I like using a sweet onion)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

3 cups chicken stock

cup light cream (or half and half)

Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper (to taste)

How to make it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Melt butter in a large saucepan.

Add the chicken and cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken "changes color".

Add the zucchini, onion and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Add the stock and stir until it begins to boil and thickens slightly.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute.

Stir in the cream and cook for 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and serve.

 

You can add rice noodles to it if you like - my kids like that.
