Chicken Kale Soup
6 cups chicken stock (home made, if you have it)
1 cup brown rice, raw
1 large onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, sliced
2 cups diced tomatoes (home canned are good, if fresh ones are out of season)
3 cloves garlic
4 large kale leaves
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried
3 cups cooked chicken
salt and pepper to taste
Bring the stock to a boil. Add the brown rice, onion, carrot, garlic, and kale. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add tomatoes, thyme, and chicken. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
