Isn’t it pretty? So colorful! It’s SUPER flavorful, hearty, warm, and soul-satisfying, even in its simplicity. It’s chock full of all kinds of vegetables (and is certainly one of those clean-out-the-fridge meals), lean shredded chicken breast meat, and simple seasonings. And by simple, I mean: salt and pepper. Yup… that’s it! PLUS, it’s a one-pot meal that you can make in your slow cooker if you want! (See recipe notes below) PLUS!!!! You can even make it vegetarian/vegan. (Again, see recipe notes below) It’s Whole30 and Paleo approved, and it’s super nutritious and good for you. And if all these reasons aren’t good enough for you: this recipe also makes a ton. So get your biggest pot out to make it. Freeze the leftovers for another time.
Here’s what makes this so dang tasty, despite its simplicity. The only seasonings are salt and pepper, and the base is chicken broth. But there are three main ingredients in this recipe that help pack some great flavor into this soup (besides the obligatory onions and garlic):
And guess what, guys? Today is the LAST DAY of my Whole30 challenge! But that doesn’t mean it’s over yet. The Whole30 ends with a gradual reintegration of all the foods you have eliminated over the course of a couple weeks. The first thing I’m reintroducing starting tomorrow? WINE. Sweet, sweet nectar of the gods. I cannot tell you how much I have missed a nice glass of red wine after a long hard day at work teaching teenagers. Teachers and wine go together like peanut butter and jelly. In fact, if you want to get your child’s teacher an awesome present next time I strongly recommend getting them a bottle of wine. Basically, you introduce one thing at a time, and go back to doing the Whole30 for three days. Then, you introduce another thing, and do the Whole30 again for three more days. This enables you to really pay attention to whether or not a certain ingredient is making you not feel great. So I’ll be posting a few more Whole30/Paleo recipes before this is all said and done! Enjoy this awesome, healthy recipe. Recipe below :-)
