Lentil and Chicken Soup


Also a recipe from Skinnytaste.com. This soup introduced me to the wonderful world of lentils. You can buy dry lentils and they cook in about 20 minutes or so. They are a great substitute for dry beans that have to soak overnight. This soup is great with a little sour cream and/or grated cheese on top. I've made this several times and love each time, and Brooke digs this one for sure!

Lentil And Chicken Soup

Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 8 • Size: 10 oz • Time: 30 minutes • Points: 3 ww points

* 1 lb dried lentils
* 3 small chicken breast halves on the bone, skin and fat removed
* 2 chicken bullion (I like Maggi)
* 1 packet Sazon (in Latin section)
* 1 small onion
* 4 scallions
* 3 cloves garlic
* 1 tomato
* 8 cups water

In a large pot combine lentils, chicken, water and chicken bullion. Boil, covered over medium-low heat until chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from the bone and shred, return to pot.

Meanwhile, in a mini chopper, finely chop onions, scallions, garlic, and tomato. Add to the lentils with sazon and cook 15 more minutes, or until lentils are soft. (Add more water if needed)
