Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large thick-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat on the stove top.
  • Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins turning slightly golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped chicken. Brown the chicken for a few minutes before stirring in the dried oregano, dried parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour in the drained sun-dried tomatoes, full-fat canned coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomato paste and stir well. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a full boil. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and cook at a gentle bubble for 15 minutes. If you have more time, simmer the soup for up to 1 hour over low heat.
  • Add the baby spinach to the pot and replace the cover. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Taste the soup for flavor and add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve soup in large bowls with crusty bread, garlic bread, or cornbread for a delicious meal. If you do dairy, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over this creamy chicken soup! Garnish with chopped basil if you have fresh basil on hand.
  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze soup double bagged in zip lock bags for up to 3 months.

Notes

*If you aren't dairy-free, replace the coconut milk with 1 1/2 cups heavy cream.
