Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 pound chicken tenders
-
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
-
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
-
2 stalks celery, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
-
¾ teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for serving
-
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
-
1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
-
Add leeks, onion and celery to the pot. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits, until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add asparagus and spinach; cook until the asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes more.
-
Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and add to the soup. Stir in parsley and Parmesan. Serve the soup topped with more pepper and Parmesan, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
