Hearty Chicken Vegetable soup

    3-4 chicken breasts, cut in to bite size pieces

    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

    1 medium yellow onion, diced

    2 tsp. Mrs Dash seasoning

    6 medium carrots, peeled and diced

    4 stalks celery, diced

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced

    2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

    1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes

    1 8 oz. can tomato sauce

    2 tsp Italian seasoning

    Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

    2 medium zucchini, chopped

    Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the chicken and onion with Mrs. Dash seasoning.  Add carrots, celery, and garlic with one teaspoon of salt for 4-5 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 6-8 minutes.

    Stir in the broth, diced tomatoes with the juices, tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. The broth should cover about half of the saucepan; add more if necessary. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the zucchini and cook for 15 minutes more. Serve hot.
