Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium-sized yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 3 stalls celery chopped
  • ½ cup wild rice uncooked
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large chicken breast chopped (10-14 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken broth*
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt to taste
  • 3 cups baby spinach optional.

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large pot (I use a Dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until it begins to soften.

  • Add the chopped chicken breast, oregano, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Cover and cook at a gentle boil until rice has cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes. The slower and longer the cooking time, the more flavorful the soup will be.

  • Stir in the baby spinach and continue cooking for a couple of minutes until it has fully wilted.
