This delicious, fragrant soup acts like a springtime tonic and helps chase colds away. Use any dark greens, choosing the youngest and most brightly colored leaves (these pack the most nutritional benefits).

3 plump shallots, finely chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts thinly sliced
6 cups baby spinach-turnip greens or beet greens
4 cups sliced kale, chard, or collards
6 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons parsley stemmed
