Equipment
- Soup pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion diced
- 2 celery ribs diced
- 3 medium carrots peeled, diced
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika more to preference
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock more for a broth-ier soup
- 1 cup coconut milk
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
- parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Drizzle the olive oil in your soup pot or Dutch oven, and tip in the diced onion, carrot and celery. Sprinkle in the rosemary, thyme and sweet paprika. Stir well, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add in the minced garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds to a minute.
- Use tongs to add in the chicken breasts, then pour in the chicken stock (or veggie stock). Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Press the chicken breasts down so they are covered with the stock. Cook the soup for 30 minutes, covered with the lid slightly ajar. If you wish to add more stock, then you can do so.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the soup pot and shred with two forks.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, if using, to taste preference. Ladle into your bowls and enjoy!
Notes
- We all like different amounts of broth in our soups. This recipe makes a fairly brothy soup, but if you like even more, simply add another half cup (or more) of stock.
- If you're a low histamine reader, then you may wish to use homemade chicken stock or there is my low histamine veggie stock recipe, which I've also used to make this recipe.
- For safe cooking of the chicken, check for an internal temperature of 165F using a meat thermometer at their deepest point.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- white onion scores 0, while other types score higher.
- garlic and coconut milk, which score 1.
- black pepper, which scores 2.
- chicken stock is not rated. , Store bought is likely higher histamine, so quick-made homemade stock is likely preferable. Alternatively, you can use water, herbs and salt.
