Whole30 & Paleo Spicy Turmeric Chicken Soup

This is my go to base soup recipe. It is so quick to come together, is filling and easy to modify based on your preferences. The Trader Joes Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chilis adds the perfect spicy kick that almost resembles a 'tortilla soup' flavor. The turmeric gives this soup a lovely golden color and some wonderful anti inflammatory properties!
I love to change this recipe depending on what veggies I have in my fridge that need to be used up too! As you can see in the pictures I added a tomato that was looking like it was on its last leg. Try adding kale, cabbage, riced cauliflower, zucchini, or even diced sweet potatoes to change the flavor profile.

Hearty Palmini Chicken "Noodle" Soup Whole30 & Paleo

Image
We are back with what may be the last soup of the season considering it seems to be warming up (at least here in sunny southern California!) This hearty soup will leave you with a full belly and provide your body with a TON of nutrients! Considering even the noodles are made from a whole vegetable source this soup tops the charts in my book for wins! The star of the show of course is the can of palmini that give this soup its name! There is zucchini co starting in a quartered and sliced role rather than a noodle role that suites it quite well. The carrot chips give this soup a delicious bit while still being tender and delicious. I diced up rotisserie chicken, but feel free to prep yours however you like (if you like bigger chunks try shredding!).   Ingredients: Chosen foods avocado oil spray 1 small onion diced 1 cup celery, sliced thin (about 2 stalks) 1/2 package carrot chips (or 2 carrots sliced) 1 can Palmini 4 cloves minced garlic cloves 64 ounces (2 cartons) low-s

Butternut Squash Zig Zag Chili Whole30 & Paleo

Image
All of the ingredients for this simple, fun recipe are from Trader Joe’s! This chili comes together super quick and makes a lot of leftovers. It’s another variation on my “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Chili” recipe featured on my instagram! Basically I add whatever veggies I have that hold up well in a chili or stew that are about to go bad to the dish. So feel free to add ingredients you have that need to be used up! Growing up we ate chili over rice. These days I eat it over cauliflower rice, over a baked sweet potato or by itself and love to top it with avocado slices. It's totally up to you! Get creative and customize to your liking!   Ingredients: 1 can diced chili style tomatoes (@traderjoes fire roasted with green chili’s is perfect) 1 can tomatoes sauce 1lb ground turkey (ground beef or chicken work too) 1 onion (diced) 1 package of butternut squash zig zags 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper Cauliflower Rice (fresh or frozen) Add (or don’
