Tangy Greek Chicken Soup (Crock Pot or Not)

Maito's Note:

I created this soup with all of our favorite flavors and ingredients in mind. You may omit the vinegar, if you would like it less tart. Cook time includes 6 hours in the crock pot.

• Total Time: 6 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 6 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 large potatoes, roughly diced
• 18 baby carrots, sliced
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
• 1 lemon, juice of
• 2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook 1 hour on high, then 5 hours on low (or 7 hours on low, if you are not available to switch crock pot from high to low).
2. If you don't have a crock pot, soup can just as easily be simmered for a long time on the stove, until the chicken is falling apart, about 3 hours.
3. Before serving, break up chicken into large bite size pieces, and taste for salt.

What a delicious soup. I love broth soups. It cooked on low for about 6 hrs on low and it was well cooked in that time. It's flavor is on the acidic side but it's quite pleasant and a welcome change from the usual chicken soup. The artichoke is yumm but I did trim back on the vinegar by half. This soup and a toasted bun made a great Fall dinner.

I loved this soup! My roomies thought it was too tangy, but I thought it was perfect! Thanks!

This soup is full of flavor! I especially enjoy the artichoke flavor in this. Very simple to make. I halved the recipe (for 2 servings) and wound up with plenty to spare! I simmered in a dutch oven for 2+ hrs. I used "better than boullion" for the broth, and distilled white vinegar. For personal taste, next time I'll cut down the amount of oregano. Thanks for another nice recipe Maito. ~Buddha
