Tips for perfect chicken soups and stews

Some chicken soups and stews are just screaming for greens, and they add fiber and other nutrients as well as flavor. Add kale or spinach to a cup of the soup before adding to the whole pot to see how you like it.

Make your own broth or if you’re in a hurry, buy bone broth or stock. It gives the soup a heartier flavor.

Double the recipe and freeze it for later. I love making life easier.

Dark meat is more flavorful than white meat. If you’re watching calories, use half dark and half white just to add flavor.

Use turkey to switch things up!
