Vegetable Chicken Soup for New Mothers: A Tender Meal for Recovery Days
With shredded chicken, seasonal vegetables and a light broth, this soup gently nourishes and warms a mother in the postpartum days.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces of bone-in chicken thigh
- 1 carrot
- 1 potato
- 1 small celery stalk
- 1 tablespoon rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Half a bunch of parsley
- 6 cups water
- Half a lemon (to serve, optional)
Directions
- 1

- 2
Take out the chicken and shred it; strain the broth.
- 3
Lightly sauté the finely chopped carrot, potato and celery in olive oil, then add the strained broth.

Add the shredded chicken and salt and simmer a few more minutes. Serve with parsley and, if you like, a few drops of lemon.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Chicken provides quality protein that supports tissue repair, while the warm broth contributes to fluid intake. Carrot and parsley add vitamins and minerals, and the light rice is a gentle source of energy. On tired postpartum days, it is an easy-to-digest, warming meal.
