Ingredients
Protein
- 1 lb ground chicken
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small thumb ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 green cabbage, sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped (for garnish)
Liquids & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (sub lime juice for AIP)
- Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground chicken and season lightly with salt and pepper. Once cooked through, set aside the chicken and discard any rendered fat.
- Sauté aromatics and vegetables: In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 4 minutes until softened. Then add the shredded carrots and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, add the sliced cabbage and stir, allowing it to soften slightly.
- Simmer the soup: Pour in the chicken broth, cooked ground chicken, and coconut aminos. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes or until the cabbage has wilted and the flavors meld.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the rice vinegar (or lime juice for AIP). Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions and optionally sriracha if not following the AIP guidelines.
Notes
- To make this recipe AIP-compliant, substitute lime juice for rice vinegar and omit the sriracha.
- You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the chicken if preferred.
- For a spicier soup, add sriracha or other hot sauce just before serving.
- This soup keeps well and tastes great the next day, making it good for meal prep.
