Description
This Tuscan chicken soup is a rich and hearty soup made with Tuscan-inspired flavors. It’s dairy-free, paleo, and can be made AIP.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 2 cups white sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup diced tomato (sub nomato sauce for AIP)
- 12 oz cauliflower gnocchi (Trader Joes, or homemade for AIP… see notes)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Using a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken and lightly season. Remove from the pot and set aside when the chicken is cooked to 165 F.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the white sweet potato, carrots, and celery and saute for another 5 minutes to lightly soften.
- Add the broth, diced tomato, and chicken to the pot and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
- Pour the coconut cream into the pot and add the gnocchi (add the uncooked gnocchi if using Trader Joes, see notes for using homemade). Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the kale and allow to soften for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm topped with parsley.
Notes
If using homemade gnocchi, skip the baking in the original recipe and simply boil the gnocchi as directed.
