Marinate chicken w/ soy sauce. While that's soaking, wash and cut up all your veggies.
Saute chicken for 2-3 min or until cooked with the garlic, garlic should be a bit brown but not burnt. Set aside.
In a soup pot, put 4 cups of water, mix in chicken broth powder. Put in carrots. Bring to a boil.
Add in mushrooms and lettuce, cover with lid for 2-3 min. Now add the chicken and garlic and simmer for a bit.
Note: you don't want your lettuce to be over cooked or it will taste wilted, so maybe scoop it out before you put the chicken and garlic in.
I don't eat noodles often, but if you do, you can throw in some noodles to make a chicken noodle soup ! A cup of chopped celery is also an option if you like the flavor.
I tried this recipe the second time round with a tomato (18 cal) added. Didn't use chicken or garlic. so that's minus 136 calories (339 - 154 + 18). So the entire recipe would be 203 calories only !
Happy healthy eating !!
