Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 large cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup dry uncooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 32 ounces chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 2 small sweet potatoes chopped (4 cups worth)
  • 1 (15-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 (15-oz) can white beans
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • ½ tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it has softened and turned golden brown. Stir in the garlic and uncooked brown rice and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat and cook covered for 15 minutes.
  • Add in the chopped chicken thighs, chopped sweet potatoes and coconut milk. Return to a controlled boil and cook for 10-15 minutes uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes have softened to your liking.
  • Stir in the beans and spinach, and cook for 5 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Taste the soup for flavor and add sea salt and black pepper to your personal taste.
  • Serve soup in large bowls with crusty bread and a side salad for a complete meal!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
