Ingredients

1 pound of organic, free-range chicken breasts
6 cups of chicken bone broth, divided
1 heaping TB of unrefined coconut or avocado oil
1/2 of a medium sweet yellow onion, diced
3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
4 whole carrots, peeled and sliced
4 stalks of celery, chopped
1 medium head of green cabbage, shredded
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 TB dried thyme
1 TB dried oregano
1 TB dried parsley
1/2 TB ground turmeric
1/2 to 1 tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
the juice from one small lemon

Directions

1. Cook chicken breasts and four cups of the chicken bone broth in the Instant Pot using this method, or your preferred method.  Remove the chicken breasts from the broth.  Set aside to cool, shred, then store in the fridge if you are not making the soup right away.  Reserve the remaining bone broth for the soup.  You can also use shredded chicken from a whole chicken.

2. In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Once hot, lower the heat to medium and add onion, garlic, and ginger.  Cook for approximately five to six minutes, or until softened.

3. Add carrots, celery, and cabbage.  Stir and cook for an additional six to eight minutes.

4. Stir in zucchini, remaining two cups of bone broth, and the four cups of bone broth used to cook the chicken.  You may need to strain the broth used to cook the chicken.

5. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Add spices, lemon juice, and shredded cooked chicken, cover, and continue simmering for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.  The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!

Per usual, please serve this soup with plantain chips or sweet potato chips.  Crackers = not a necessity. The addition of diced avocado is also super fab, if I do say so myself.
