Comforting Chicken Soup

• 2-3 tbsp. of oil (avocado, coconut or pure olive are ideal)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped (if tolerated)
• Fresh garlic (1-2 cloves, minced) or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (if tolerated)
• 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated or minced
• 1 tbsp. turmeric
• 1 tbsp. masala
• 2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 6-8 cups bone broth (low sodium)
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat or light will work)
• 4 cooked chicken thighs, shredded or chopped
• 2 cups spinach or kale, chopped (stems removed)
• 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • If using fresh garlic and onion, finely chop them.
   • Peel and thinly slice the carrots.
   • Grate or mince the ginger.
   • Cook and shred or chop the chicken breasts if not already done.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
   • In a large pot, heat 2-3 tablespoon of olive/avocado oil over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Carrots and Broth:
   • Add the sliced carrots to the pot and stir to combine.
   • Pour in the bone broth and bring to a boil.
   • Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.
4. Add Chicken and Coconut Milk:
   • Stir in the shredded chicken and coconut milk.
   • Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.
5. Add Greens:
   • Stir in the spinach or kale and cook until wilted.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Add lemon
6. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
   • Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.

Notes:

• Adjust the garlic and onion according to your tolerance. For some with IBS, garlic-infused oil can be used for flavor without the FODMAPs.
• Choose low-FODMAP vegetables like celery, zucchini or potato’s if you need to adjust the recipe further.
• Use leftover or rotisserie chicken for convenience if desired or replace with lentils to make it more vegetarian based.
• You may also use a slow cooker for convenience….throw everything into a cooker and set for 4 hours on high or for 6 hours on low.
• Have fun with it!
