I am sharing something a little different for this weeks meals.  Since we are all feeling under the weather I decided to grab one of my "go-to" recipes for a big pot of soup full of nutrients! Its from www.ibreatheimhungry.com.   I make this soup often when I'm going to have a busy week.  It's yummy & makes a huge pot that we can eat off of for lunch & dinner for several days.  No cooking, no cleaning!  Fantastic for a busy mom!  

This time I decided to make my own chicken bone stock as a base instead of the store bought stuff.  I had just gotten my first order from Butcher Box and couldn't think of a better use for the Organic Whole Chicken I ordered.  I just put the entire chicken in a big pot, filled it about 3/4 full of water then added onion, garlic, basil, peppercorns, salt, and a bunch of left over veggies I had in the fridge-yellow bell peppers, red bell peppers, carrots, celery, etc... (another win for making broth is that you can use up veggies that might go to waste otherwise).  I let this boil then turned it down to a low simmer for several hours.  There is really very little effort needed to make your own stick!  

I wanted to chicken to fall apart to get to that nutrient rich bone marrow!  And oh did it!!!  I had to use a sieve to remove it from the pot!!  I placed the chicken in a separate bowl, then filtered out the other veggies into another bowl.  

I didn't want to dirty up a bunch of pans so I messed with the order of the recipe a little.  I cooked the bacon in a separate frying pan (I puree the onions since my husband doesn't like them-you can do the same then just add the puree to the large pot.  I you do like onions, you can cook them here with the bacon).  While it was cooking I pulled apart the chicken meat and put the chicken meat back into the pot with the stock in it.  When I had gotten all the chicken, the bacon was ready and I put everything (including the grease-make sure you're using a high quality bacon-pasture raised, no nitrates, etc...) into the pot with the stock & the chicken.  

Then I followed the rest of the recipe as is!  

I love that there are several veggie substitution options on the website in case you need to make a change.    I end up using a lot of veggies that I happen to have on hand so I use this list often!  And I don't care for celery root in the soup (the flavor is too overpowering for me) so I like to use cauliflower instead.  Ive also used bamboo shoots instead!  It adds that little extra texture I'm always looking for!

THE WHOLE SHEBANG:

I use the soup as a supplement to my keto lifestyle.  But I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read the entire IBIH 5 Day Soup Diet!  There is so much more to it than the soup!  If you really need a kick start, or just want an easy, pre-planned week of meals, this is where you should go!  Pre planned & made breakfasts, the snacks are really good (hint: i prefer the flavor of vegenaise over mayo...) and then again...THE SOUP!!!!
