Eat this Cabbage Detox Chicken Soup for Reduce Bloat and Shed Water Weight!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps coconut oil, ghee, or avocado oil (high quality olive oil works too!)
- 1/2 of a small green cabbage, sliced very thinly
- 6 stalks of celery, chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup frozen organic peas
- 2 cups frozen or fresh organic green beans, chopped in half if needed for bite size
- 3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tsps grated fresh ginger
- 5 cups homemade bone broth, either chicken or turkey
- 2 cups chopped or shredded leftover chicken, or turkey
- 1 bay leaf
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste (about 1/4 tsp each)
- 1/2 a fresh lemon
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley, or cilantro
Instructions
- Heat oil/ghee in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add cabbage, celery, and diced yellow onion then saute for about 4 minutes stirring often.
- Stir in peas, green beans, garlic, and ginger then cook for another minute or so, until fragrant.
- Add broth, bay leaf, and chicken or turkey meat then simmer until veggies are cooked through about 20 minutes.
- Add freshly squeezed lemon juice of 1/2 a small lemon, then give everything a gentle stir.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley/cilantro and serve warm.
- This soup lasts for about 4-5 days refrigerated, so I'll often make a double or triple batch for the whole week because as with most soups, it's even tastier the next day!
- You can also freeze this soup for 6-8 weeks.
