What’s for supper?  Soups are warm, healthy, and comforting on cold fall days.  They can be quick to the table if you already have the basics in your freezer.

Coconut Chicken Soup

 2 Tablespoons refined coconut oil

3 med. Jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped

1 sweet onion

2 stalks celery

2 cloves garlic

4 cups chicken bone broth

1 28 oz can organic free-range chicken

1 lb frozen organic peas

3 carrots sliced

1 Tablespoon basil

1 can coconut milk

 

In a dutch oven, heat oil and simmer peppers, onions, celery, and garlic until soft. Add broth, peas, and carrots, and basil bring to a boil. Boil until carrots are tender. Remove from heat and add coconut milk. Serve.

 

 I saw a similar recipe to this on TV but some of the ingredients I had never heard of before. One of my kids had complained that all of my soups taste the same so I thought I would try something different. I happened to have a can of coconut in the cupboard. I checked my Nourishing Traditions book and couldn’t find exactly what I thought my family would actually eat. So I cooked up what I thought they would like.

 

 The coconut milk gave a sweet taste to the soup. Everybody liked it. Yea ha! It’s not easy

 finding meals that all 7 people like to eat.
