Ingredients
  

  • cups 1.5 cups carrots, sliced 1/2″ thick on the diagonal
  • cups 1.5 cups celery, sliced 1/2″ thick on the diagonal
  • ½ 1/2 a medium onion, cut into 1/2′ pieces
  • 2 cups 2 cups baby potatoes, cut in half
  • 2-3 cloves 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed & chopped
  • 1½-2 lbs 1.5 – 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless & skinless – cut into 1″ bites
  • 1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 cups chicken stock – salted
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup Lite Sour Cream
  • 3 tbsp flour

Instructions
 

  • Chop the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and garlic. Set aside. Next, cut the chicken into 1″ cubes. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, stirring until it is lightly colored on all sides (it will finish cooking in the liquids). Add a little salt to season. Next, add the chicken stock, wine, marjoram, bay leaf and all of your veggies into the mixture.
  • Stir to incorporate. Bring the entire mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the mixture and allow it to simmer for 25-30 minutes or until veggies are tender.

Meanwhile, make the slurry

  • Mix together the lite sour cream and flour. Add approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of the hot broth into the sour cream mixture, mixing to incorporate. This is your slurry – which acts to thicken the soup into a stew consistency, and adds amazing flavor.
  • Raise the heat to high, pour the slurry mixture back into the pan, stirring constantly until well incorporated and the mixture is thicker. Adjust seasonings to taste. Let it sit a few minutes – it’s hot! Dish into bowls and enjoy! To store, place in an airtight container and place in the fridge.
  • Delicious to have on hand for healthy pre-party lite dinner or lunches!
