Servings: 8
Here's what you need...
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lbs bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 butternut squash, seeded peeled and cubed (3-4 cups)
• 1 bunch red kale, chopped
• 1 (160z) jar green, roasted salsa
• 4 cups Chicken Broth
• 5 large carrots, made into flat noodles with a vegetable peeler
• 1 Tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions ????????
1. In a large soup pot, place the coconut oil (or bacon fat) over medium high heat. Add the garlic and chicken thighs and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add the butternut squash cubes and chopped kale. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add the salsa and chicken broth and bring to a low boil.
3. Wash the carrots, then use a vegetable peeler to create long, flat "noodles". Add to the pot. Reduce to a simmer and cover for 40 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the pot and pull the chicken meat from the bones. Use an immersion blender to puree 1/3 of the vegetables. Return the meat to the pot and discard the bones. Add most of the cilantro, saving just enough to garnish each bowl. Serve warm
