Chicken Detox Soup (Low Fodmap & Gluten Free)
(SIBO Friendly, low fodmap, gluten free)
Last week, I was feeling off a bit with my digestion. My gut was not happy. When this happens I need to usually pull out most fodmaps and redo my diet quickly. I was reacting to absolutely everything and my bloating was well lets say A LOT. While I’m transitioning into winter I really love a yummy chicken or turkey stew to make for dinner or a soul soothing lunch. Meet the most scrumptious Chicken Detox Soup!
I BEG you not to confuse healthy with tasteless. You NEED to make this as soon as possible so you can see for yourself how delicious it is, and how good you feel after eating it! It’s SUPER yummy, flavorful, hearty, warm, and soul-satisfying, even in its simplicity. It’s full of detoxifying vegetables, organic chicken thighs, and simple seasonings. And by simple, I mean: salt, cumin, and crushed red pepper. Yup… that’s it!
1 ½ pounds chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup leeks, chopped
12 cups water or low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon Garlic Oil or 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can Green Chilies (4.5 ounces)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoon cumin
2 cups chopped carrots
2 fennel bulbs, chopped (you could also use cabbage)
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 – 14.5 ounces “fire roasted” crushed tomatoes
Instructions:
1. Set a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the garlic oil (you could also use garlic cloves and 1T olive oil), chopped leeks, and fennel. Sauté for 5-6 minutes to soften. Then add the chicken breasts, chopped green chilis, crushed tomatoes, water or chicken broth, all spices, carrots, and 1 1/2 teaspoons Himalayan sea salt.
2. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20+ minutes, until the chicken thighs or breasts are cooked through. Then remove the chicken with tongs and set them on a cutting board to cool. Cut and chop to your liking and size and return to sauce pot.
3. Continue to simmer, taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm with a generous amount of diced avocado and green onions on top!
Enjoy!
