It's hard to find low-carb soup, so I decided to invent one and it's really good. I use Portuguese linguica or Mexican chorizo for the spicy sausage.

Ingredients

10	cups water
3	breasts of chicken
2	oz spicy sausage
1	cup diced celery
1	cup sliced carrots
3/4	cup diced onion
2	tbsp minced garlic
1/4	cup lemon juice
2	tbsp tomato paste
1	tbsp salt
1	tsp pepper
2	tsp parsley
1	tsp basil

Directions

1. Boil chicken in the water with onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until cooked through (about 1 hour over medium heat.)
   
   
2. Remove chicken breasts from water and shred or dice the chicken into bite-size chunks, then put the chunks back into the pot along with the tomato paste, celery, carrots, and sausage. Let simmer over low-med heat for about 30-45 minutes; stirring occasionally.
   
   
3. Stir in parsley and basil. Simmer for another five minutes, then serve immediately.
