Paleo Chicken Soup
This light, delicious soup combines the fresh flavors of ground turmeric and coconut for a delicious comfort soup that pairs well with a salad, an entree, or even on its own.
I love making a big batch of this soup over the weekend on meal prep Sunday as a quick way to prepare easy lunch meals for the entire week.
This delicious Paleo Chicken Curry Soup does not use any traditional curry powder and instead relies on the fresh flavors of spices like cilantro and green onion.
While you can use curry powder if you would like, traditional curry powders contain nightshades and seed-derived spices that make it not compatible with an AIP diet.
