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.

Often times we get so focused on the foods that we are eating that we forget that the beverages we are consuming can play a large role in our overall health as well.
One recommendation I made in my cookbook is to enjoy healing beverages such as herbal tea, bone broth, and Warm Lemon, Honey & Ginger water to support an anti-inflammatory diet and optimal thyroid health.

Delicious Homemade Lactose-Free Coconut Milk Yogurt can be made at home using the traditional method of combining the liquid with ‘cultures’, or bacteria with coconut milk. This leads to fermentation, where the bacteria convert the sugar into lactic acid, giving the yogurt the traditional thickness and tang of yogurt.
