Gut-healing Pumpkin Chicken Soup with Coconut Cream & Sage
This gut-healing pumpkin chicken soup with a bone broth base is creamy, savory, and full of anti-inflammatory benefits! The Italian inspired herbs, coconut cream, and pumpkin bring out a hint of sweetness in this gut-healing soup. The chicken and sweet potatoes help make this soup a hearty dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sautéing
- 1/2 Sweet Onion chopped
- Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Fresh Sage Leaves chopped
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 5 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Medium Sweet Potato peeled and chopped
- 1-2 Bell Peppers (any color) chopped
- 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning my recipe included below
- 3 cups Chicken Bone Broth
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Purée
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1/2 bundle Lacinato Kale chopped (stems removed)
- 1/2 cup Full-fat Coconut Cream
Homemade Italian Seasoning: (makes more than needed in this recipe)
- 2 tbsp Basil
- 1 tbsp Oregano
- 1/2 tbsp Thyme
- 1/2 tbsp Rosemary
- 1/2 tbsp Sage
- 1/2 tbsp Parsley
Instructions
- Preheat a dutch oven or large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add extra virgin olive oil, around 1-2 tbsp for sautéing.
- Add your chopped onion and sauté 3-5 minutes, until caramelized.
- Add the ground chicken, season with salt & pepper, and sauté until no longer pink. While the chicken is browning, stir in the fresh sage.
- Make a well in the center of the dutch oven, sprinkle in your turmeric powder and allow it to toast for about a minute. (Toasting turmeric deepens the flavor and helps it to be more bioavailable for your body to absorb).
- Stir in the chopped potatoes, sweet peppers, and garlic. Allow these to cook and soften for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, bone broth, pumpkin, tomato paste, lacinato kale, and a little more salt/pepper to taste preference. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Stir in the coconut cream and simmer for a few more minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
