I was not feeling the love for the traditional chicken soup, and instead decided to make this soup my own - thus, Anna's style.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 stalks of celery, sliced
1 large carrot, quartered and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, halved
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 chipotle in adobo pepper
6 cups chicken broth (I actually had home made broth from poaching chicken breasts at work - if you use purchased broth, get the low-sodium kind)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper to taste
lime wedges
Directions:
1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the first 8 ingredients and saute, stirring for 5-8 minutes.
2. Add chicken broth and chicken to the vegetables. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Add chickpeas and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Ladle into bowls and add freshly squeezed lime juice.
Thoughts - there's quite a bit of heat from the chipotle. If you want a less spicy food, cut down on the chipotle or omit it all together. A sprinkling of cilantro or scallions would be really nice here as well. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the soup and so is my soul.

Those are some big scallions!! Looks good. I like matzo ball soup w/chicken.
This looks amazing! I have got to try this recipe. Thanks. Great pictures too.
This sounds like a great version of chicken soup! Chipotles must give it amazing flavor.
