Paleo Chicken Artichoke Soup with Basil 🍃

ATTENTION PALEO FRIENDS!!
Here is the tastiest paleo friendly soup recipe for ya! Sorry we have been kind of MIA on our blog, but I stumbled this recipe from the girl bo$$ BBG mama Tiffanie, @moms.can.be.fit ✨ when I was scrolling through Instagram stories and knew I had to blog about it to share with ya’ll! Here is the link to the recipe on Once A Month Meals, but I’m going to have to make this a couple-of-months-meal! I LOVE artichokes and I LOVE soups so you know how much my eyes lit up when I saw the name of the recipe! Two of my favorite things in one! I also do love BASIL, spinach, onion, celery, chicken, and COCONUT OIL too! The best part about this rich artichoke-y tasting soup is that it has a slight hint of COCONUT OIL!!! When I was prepping the soup with coconut oil, onion, and celery heated on the stovetop, Eve ran to the kitchen lured in by the scent of heavenly coconut oil. That was when we knew this soup was going to be AHHHHmazing!!! Without further ado, let me share the recipe + some photos of my cooking process with you!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 ⅓ cups dice Celery
• 1 cup dice Onion
• ⅛ teaspoons Sea Salt
• ⅛ teaspoons Black Pepper
• 2 cups Chicken Broth (got mine from Trader Joe’s)
• 1 ½ cups Artichoke Hearts, Frozen (got mine from Trader Joe’s)
• 1 cup Spinach
• 3 teaspoons chop Basil, Fresh (got mine from my TJ’s naked basil plant!)
• 2 cups cook and shred Chicken, Boneless Breasts (I got the microwavable grilled chicken from TJ’s!)

Directions:

1. Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add celery, onion, salt and pepper and cook 4-5 minutes.
3. Add chicken broth and frozen artichoke hearts.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the artichoke hearts are tender, about 12 minutes.
6. Stir in spinach and basil and then puree small batches of soup in a blender.
7. Return all puree to the same saucepan and stir in shredded chicken.
8. ENJOY!

This was when Eve ran into the kitchen because the smell was just fantastic! Edit
Artichoke & chicken broth in!Edit
Spinach and what was left of my sad naked basil plant in!  I decided to grow my own basil plant since I love it so much, but what I didn’t expect was that I use it WAY too fast! My plant doesn’t even have time to grow back big and beautiful before I pluck them out to eat!! Patience is key.
EditPost blender puree, back on the stovetop with shredded chicken added inVoila! ✨ This is truly one of my favorites soups I dare say! Eve and our little brother Andrew think this could also be eaten with rice because it almost has that curry consistency! You’ve really got to try it! It’s so yummy!! Thank you so much Tiffanie for sharing! ❤️ ENJOY!!
