Really Green Soup

This really green soup made from the viral tik tok swamp soup recipe is not only delicious but the vibrant green goodness is very healthy! Enjoy!

Really Green Soup

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 heaping cup cooked rice
• 1 cup cooked and pulled chicken (I used rotisserie)
• 4 medium cloves of garlic
• 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
• 2 whole stalks scallions 
• 1 jalapeño, stems and seeds removed (I didn't want it too spicy)
• 1 cup parsley, packed plus more for garnish
• 4 cups baby spinach, packed
• Salt to taste

1. Bring chicken broth to a boil and add in the spinach and garlic. Cook the spinach until wilted and shrunken in size and garlic is softened. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the spinach and garlic out of the broth and into your blender. Set aside to cool.
2. Add the rice into the broth, bring back to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let the rice simmer in the broth until liquid has thickened and rice begins to break apart, about 10-15 minutes
3. Add ginger, scallion, jalapeño and parsley into the blender with the spinach. Add about 1/4 cup of water and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 60 seconds. If the blender gets stuck, add more water. If your blender is too small, you can do this in batches or use a food processor. DO NOT PUT HOT SOUP IN YOUR BLENDER, IT WILL EXPLODE.
4. When broth is thickened, add chicken and green mixture from blender.  Mix to combine, and taste for salt. Adjust as needed.
