2 cups carrots sliced or chopped
2 cups celery sliced or chopped
1.5-2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts precooked shredded or if time permits raw
64 ounces chicken/bone broth
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chili pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

*Plz use organic ingredients when available
Directions Option 1 Crock Pot
If time permits you can saute the onions, garlic & jalapenos in olive oil until tender but if you're in a hurry add all the ingredients into your crockpot, stir & turn on high for 4-6 hours or low for about 8. Check about 1/2 way through to see if veggies are cooked to desired tenderness. If you are using raw chicken, check for doneness in about 3.5+ hours and shred if completely cooked, stir back into soup or wait until serving. We like our veggies a bit undercooked so we usually turn the slow cooker to warm once they're done to our liking.
Note: if you prefer less cooked veggies add carrots & celery 1/2 way through
Faster Option 2 Instant Pot
*Place veggies in the bottom of your Instant Pot.
*Top with chicken, herbs & spices
Note: if chicken frozen cook for 35+ minutes
*Add chicken/bone broth
*Select 'Soup' and cook for 30 minutes.
*Let it slow release or choose quick release
*Shred chicken and stir back into the pot
*Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped spinach or kale is delicious to add just before serving letting it soften & wilt from the heat or you may enjoy it raw as a garnish on top. Feel free to add any of your favorite veggies. This is a basic template for you to create your own masterpiece. The magic begins with the spices and seasonings. Experiment with starting small, being bold and adding more. That's where the fun begins when you create your own favorite delicious versions!
Once the soup is done play around with the above garnishes and see what is your favorite combination. Lime wedges drizzled over top are the winner with this yummy soup at our house. See what you and your family can come up with for garnishes and you may be creating a new family favorite recipe that may become a welcomed traditionā¤ļø

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. Itās amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bitesā throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
