Ingredients
1.5 lbs Organic Chicken Breasts or Thighs
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large Yellow Onion (diced)
4 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
2 medium Bell Peppers (any color, chopped)
4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Bone Broth
1 can (14.5 oz) Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
1 tablespoon Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
Chili Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika (to taste)
1/2 cup Full-Fat Greek Yogurt or Coconut Cream
Instructions
- Start by heating your avocado oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant
- Add your chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir for a minute to bloom the spices
- Pour in the chicken bone broth, fire-roasted tomatoes (with their juices), and the black beans. Add the honey and bring to a gentle simmer
- Carefully place the raw chicken into the simmering broth, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F
- Remove the chicken, shred, and return it to the pot
- Turn the heat down to low and stir in the Greek yogurt or coconut cream. Do not let the soup boil after adding the yogurt
- Taste and adjust seasoning or add lime juice as needed before serving
Notes
For a thicker soup, mash half a cup of black beans before adding them to the pot.
To add a smoky flavor, char your bell peppers before dicing.
