Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 small yellow onion finely diced*
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 large parsnip peeled and chopped
  • 3 talks celery chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced*
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 3 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 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 Low-FODMAP and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice.
  • **If you have trouble digesting kale, replace it with 4 cups of (loosely packed) baby spinach.
  • If you have access to fresh turmeric and fresh ginger, feel free to use 2 teaspoons of peeled and grated fresh turmeric and fresh ginger, or to your personal taste.
