Yesterday, after the dutch oven chicken turned out to be such a success, I decided to use the leftovers to create another meal that would help my wife while on the 17 day diet. The diet allows her to eat large quantities of vegetables and proteins so that is exactly what this soup had. I used one and a half of the chicken breasts from supper and all of the leftover veggies in the oven. To this I added one onion, one and a half cups of chopped cabbage, one can chopped tomatoes, one large carrot, and two celery stalks. The book, 17 day diet, recommends using fat-free broth for soups. Lacking this I used bullion cubes to make two cups of broth and this was added to the oven along with approximately four cups of water. This concoction was simmered until the carrots were cooked. The result was a very tasty chicken and vegetable soup that was very similar to menu plan that my wife is following.
