When im lazy to cook or eat something solid food soups come to the rescue! One of the soups which i make during dinner time is this one.
It is easy to prepare and and very healthy as it as chicken breast, carrots, celery, potatoes, spinach and a lot of spices to spice it up!
So for this soup you will need
200-300 grams of chicken breast

1 celery stalk
Cut everything in to small pieces and boil together for 2 hours. Blend it with a hand blender into a fine paste or as per you like. Garnish with black pepper, marjoram,basil,oregano,crushed red pepper and salt!

This soup is really filling and you can also change the choice of veggies, u can add corn, green peas, tomatoes, or any other veggie.
