Chicken Soup

This chicken soup recipe is a great way to use leftover cooked chicken or turkey you may have in your fridge.  This dish is easy, delicious, and healthier than the typical chicken soup that comes in a can.  Need an additional reason to try this out?  You only need to use one pot to make it, so your dishes wont pile up in the process.

Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil
½ of a medium onion, chopped
3 large carrots, chopped
1 tsp thyme, ground

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, no sodium added, drained 
1 cup chicken, cooked, skinned and cubed
1 cup whole wheat pasta, cooked (or brown rice)
1 cup kale, chopped, about one large leaf
