Super Simple Chicken Soup

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup carrot, chopped
• 2 cups celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup shallot, chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chunk chicken (this is in the tuna section of my store, I buy the all natural one, ingred. should be chicken, water)
• 6 cups hot water
• 8 teaspoons chicken base
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

1. Place first 5 ingredients in a soup pot and saute for 5 minutes.
2. Add chicken, stir.
3. Combine hot water and base then add to your pot.
4. Cook (medium boil) for 15 minutes or until carrots are done enough for you.
5. Combine cold water and corn starch then add to your pot while stirring.
6. Your soup will thicken and be ready to serve.
7. *You can add more cornstarch mixture if you would like it thicker. I like mine somewhere between a soup and a stew consistency.*.
