Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 small yellow onion finely diced*
  • 2 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 large parsnip peeled and chopped
  • 3 talks celery chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced*
  • 1 lb chicken breast chopped, boneless skinless
  • 2 tsp parsley dried
  • 1 tsp Turmeric ground
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
  • 3 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
  • 1 small head kale chopped**

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until transluscent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, parsnips, celery, and garlic and continue sauteeing, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but still al dente, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped chicken and cook just long enough to brown the meat, about 2 to 3 minutes. 
  3. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and cover. Cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes (ideally one hour). Taste soup for flavor and add more sea salt if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Omit onion and garlic to make the soup low-FODMAP and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice for acidity.
  • Substitute kale with 4 cups of loosely packed baby spinach if kale is hard to digest.
  • If using fresh turmeric and ginger, grate about 2 teaspoons each to replace dried ground versions for a fresher flavor.
