Need a new soup recipe, try this one from Deliciously Organic.

Ingredients:

4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 large carrots, chopped
1 large leek, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 tsps Celtic sea salt, divided
2 tsps dried Itlaion seasoning
4 cups chicken stock
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (24 oz) jar crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
Melt butter in a large pot.  Add carrots, leek, celery and garlic.  Stir. Cover pot and reduce heat to low.  Cook for 30 minutes. 

Add mushrooms and 1 tsp sea salt to pot.  Stir and cook for 10 minutes.  Stir in Italian seasoning and cook for 1 min.  Add stock, chicken, tomatoes and remaining 1 tsp salt.  Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 min.  Remove chicken from pot, chop into bite-size pieces and add back to the soup.  Pour in cream and season to taste.  Serves 6.

Try it with a cup of quinoa as well.  Just add it in with the chicken.  It was soooo yummy!  The whole family enjoyed it, and the leftovers were even better.
