How to Make This Chicken and Broccoli Soup
Heat a dutch oven over medium heat and add the ghee or oil.
Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and herbs, the sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Stir and cook another minute to blend flavors.
Whisk in the tapioca or arrowroot until bubbly, then stir whisk while pouring in the broth.
Bring to a boil to thicken, then add in the coconut milk and broccoli and cook a minute to soften the broccoli.
Add the chicken, lower the heat and simmer to heat through. Taste and season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!
You can either refrigerate or freeze leftover soup to enjoy later on – it saves well!

I have not tried this recipe yet but I use a cauliflower “alfredo” in other soups to make them creamy. You basically blend steamed cauliflower, some bone broth, splash of non diary milk, garlic and salt until creamy. Stir into a soup. If you want an exact recipe, google “cauliflower alfredo sauce”.
