A stoup is thicker than soup and thinner than stew and best of all, a one-pot meal!
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots, peeled
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small to medium red bell pepper, seeded
- 1 medium yellow skinned onion, peeled and halved
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence, available on spice aisle or, 1 teaspoon each dried sage, rosemary and thyme
- 1 1/2 pounds small red skinned potatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes or coarsely ground tomatoes
- 1 quart plus 1 cup chicken stock, available in quart and 1 cup paper box containers on the soup aisle
- 1 pound chicken tenders, diced
- 1 small jar black olive tapenade, 4 ounces, found with Italian foods or on condiment aisle
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Crusty bread, to pass at table
Directions
One medium soup pot preheated over medium high heat. While soup pot heats, chop carrots into 1/4-inch dice, then add garlic, and stir to coat in extra-virgin olive oil. Chop and drop in the zucchini, pepper and onion next, 1/2 inch dice. Season all the veggies with salt and pepper and herbes de Provence. Cook the veggies together 5 minutes. While they cook, cut potatoes into thin wedges. Add wine to vegetables and reduce a minute or so. Add the tomatoes, cut potatoes and stock to the pot, cover the pot and raise heat to high. Bring the stoup to a boil, then add cut chicken and simmer 8 to10 minutes until potatoes are just tender and chicken is cooked through. Serve stoup in shallow bowls and stir in a rounded spoonful of black olive tapenade at the table. Top soup with chopped parsley and pass crusty bread at the table for dipping and mopping.

The whole family LOVES this meal! It is even better after a day or two. The only change I make it to not add the tomatoes. The tapenade in a must!

For some reason, when I read the ingredients for this soup, it did NOT sound appealing at all, but I decided to try it out since it had such great reviews. Besides the recipe's directions being a little bit difficult to follow, it turned out fantastic. I doubled the garlic because my family loves the flavor and paired it with a beautiful loaf of gluten-free garlic/herb bread. Topped with some freshly grated Manchego cheese and I had a happy 2-year-old, which made for a happy Mama!
