Chicken Quinoa Feta Soup

This Chicken Quinoa Feta Soup is a light and nourishing soup for summer—but versatile enough to enjoy year-round. Tender shredded chicken, protein-rich quinoa, and nutrient-rich kale come together in a savory broth, while crumbles of creamy feta add a tangy finish that elevates every bite. This easy-to-make soup brings comfort and fresh flavor to the table with minimal effort.
I love my Cast Iron Dutch Oven/Casserole Pot. It’s so durable. It’s super easy to clean. It cooks the veggies so well when you are sauteing them. And it’s a great pot to make soup. I’m a super fan.
