Cooking for one recipes often leave out dishes like soup. Here we have created the perfect chicken soup for one with carrots, celery and dill. Simple to prepare, this dish calls for only seven ingredients but tastes like many more. The pre-shredded carrots and cooked chicken cut the time down to a short 25 minutes of cooking. Easy cooking quinoa adds a hearty note to the dish making this soup delicious and filling. Serve with some crackers for a traditional feel or add a quickly bagged salad for a crunchy side of veg.
