Chicken Vegetable Leek Soup

• 2 stalks celery diced
• 1 large carrot diced or shredded
• 2 small onion chopped
• 1 small zucchini cubed (optional)
• 2 stalks leeks sliced OR 1 bag frozen sliced leeks
• 1/2 bag fresh baby spinach
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 2 cups cooked white meat chicken (rotisserie or breast meat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups Manischewitz chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup cooked white rice

Sauté celery, carrot, onion, zucchini, and garlic in pot with 2 tbs. olive oil until soft. Add 1 bag sliced Trader Joes leeks OR 2 stalk fresh sliced leeks and 1/2 bag fresh baby spinach. 

Sauté an additional 5 minutes. Add cubed or shredded white meat from a rotisserie chicken or already cooked breast meat. 

Pour in 1 box of chicken broth. I use the Manischewitz. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to rolling boil and then cover and simmer until leeks are soft. 

Optional - At this point, you can add 1 cup cooked rice. I also add some water or additional broth if the liquid simmers away too much. Very rich in vitamins and goodness! You can add other veggies too!
