Spicy Chard Soup



Ingredients:
bunch Swiss chard
1 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon hot sauce
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup cremini mushrooms, chopped
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 lemon, halved
salt

Directions:
Cut the chard stems into 1/2-inch pieces and the leaves into 1-inch pieces; keep separate.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chard stems and onion and cook until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, hot sauce, garlic, mushrooms, and cumin. Cook 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves, tomatoes, chicken broth and 1 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook until the chard is tender, about 10 minutes. Add in shredded chicken. Squeeze in the juice from 1/2 lemon and season with salt.
