My “Detox” Chicken Soup
It’s time to break out your dutch oven and whip up the soup of the season! I concocted this soup years ago now and it is still a favorite amongst the entire LE community! I wanted to create something that was cozy, tasty, and full of amazing ingredients. Below is the recipe, tips, and fun facts!
Ingredients:
3-4 boxes of organic unsalted chicken broth (depending on preference and bone broth)
1 box of bone broth or scoop of Vital Proteins Bone Broth Collagen
LE’s favorite broths: Kettle & Fire Brand
Half an onion
Two full-size carrots
Two full-size celery sticks
3 cloves of garlic
Handful of mushrooms
Three large stems of dinosaur kale
One rotisserie chicken
Fresh ginger or ground ginger
Apple cider vinegar
2 lemons
Turmeric
Pepper
Salt
Red pepper flakes
For vegans: Replace chicken broth with mushroom broth and remove bone broth. Add vegan collagen powder and of course, remove chicken. Feel free to add more veggies as well!
Instructions:
Chop up your onion, celery, garlic, mushrooms, and carrots
In a dutch oven, turn heat to high and add olive oil
Add all chopped veggies and season with salt, ginger, pepper, and turmeric.
If you’re using fresh ginger, chop to preference, I personally do larger pieces and take them out later.
Cook down veggies but overcook since they will be simmering in the broth for quite some time
Add all broth and a generous splash of ACV, bring soup to a boil
As the broth and veggies boil, cut & pull apart the entire rotisserie chicken adding it in as you go
The soup will break up the chicken naturally as well so no need to make it pretty
Once the soup comes to a roiling boil, turn to a simmer
Pull apart kale to your size preference and add it to the soup
Season soup with salt and pepper then cover letting it simmer for at least 30 minutes
Squeeze in lemon, stir, and taste (add red pepper flakes if you like) - season accordingly
Enjoy!
This soup is SO yummy and allows you to really play around with the seasoning! I love the spicy kick from the red pepper flakes, lemon, and pepper so I always add more of those ingredients! It has so many nutrients and benefits for your body as well!
