Penicillin Soup

1. Cook chicken and shred, set aside!
2. Chop up into thick slices: carrots, celery, garlic, onions, and optional ginger and add to a pot (don’t add leeks yet).
3. Add 6 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken broth to the same pot.
4. Boil everything.
5. Once it starts boiling turn it on low and cover for about 20 mins.
6. Once the veggies are soft put them in a blender with some broth and chicken bouillon and blend it together.
7. Once blended pour back into pot.
8. Though learning from my mistake, I would boil the pasta separately… the next step is to add pasta to blended veggie soup and boil. So you have your options!
9. Add some leeks (optional).
10. Once pasta is cooked, if you cooked it separately add your pasta and add your shredded chicken and mix.
11. Serve and top with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon to taste.
