Paleo Chicken Vegetable Soup

Post by Polly »

Hi Cave People!

I just had to tell you about a delicious soup I made yesterday. I used chicken, Imagine chicken broth, garlic, and whatever veggies I had in my refrig.......which included onions, celery, carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, turnips, cabbage, and kale. Seasoned it with marjoram, thyme, basil, a little S and P. Was feeling creative, so threw in a little apple cider, white wine, and fresh lemon juice.

It is SOOOO good! Scott loves it! I don't think I had ever made a soup without tomatoes (I'm still not sure if I can tolerate them), potatoes, or legumes, so I was surprised at how tasty it was.

This diet is forcing me to become much more creative in the kitchen.

Love,

Polly

P.S. Shirley, thanks for reminding me about the Imagine butternut squash soup. I don't thinkI've ever tried it.

Hi Polly,

It sounds like vegetable soup that I make that you add 1 T brown sugar, 2 T. vinegar, and about 10 shakes of Tabasco sauce. Kind of sweet and sour? I'll try your blend of seasonings next time . .

Your soup is beautiful . I will be right over for dinner. LOL For a guy that before MC never even considered soup I have found that it has become a mainstay of my diet in its many forms. Particularly for lunch. I have been experimenting with making a basic vegetable soup on the weekend and then taking a portion of it and simmering chicken,fish , pork or even an egg in it to make a different soup every day along with appropriate seasonings.

When I was a boy I can remember my Dad quoting this any time we had soup, much to my delight.

"Beautiful Soup"

Beautiful Soup so rich So green,
Waiting in a hot tureen
Who for such dainties would not stoop.

Beautiful Soup, Who cares for fish,
Game or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of Beautiful Soup?
