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 stalks 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

Equipment

  • large pot such as a Dutch oven

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, parsnip, celery, and garlic and continue sautéing, 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.
  • Digesting Kale: If you have trouble digesting kale, replace it with 4 cups of (loosely packed) baby spinach.
  • Fresh Ingredients: 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.
