Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup

Use your Instant Pot or Stove Top to make this hearty soup that I have come up with by adapting from an old favorite Zuppa Toscana.

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker, or Stove Top and large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp Coconut oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1-2 lbs ground chicken organic if possible
  • 2 tbsp safe seasoning blend I mixed up basil, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
  • 2-3 sweet potatoes peel and dice fresh organic sweet potatoes, or if in a hurry I like to use 1-2 bags of Stahlbush Island Farms frozen sweet potatoes. This brand is top 8 allergen free as well as gluten free.
  • 2 jars Epic homestyle savory Chicken bone Broth use whatever broth is safe for your family, this one has very few ingredients! For a more soupy consistency, add in a 3rd jar or a cup of water
  • 2 cups chopped/torn kale I used about 8 stalks of kale
  • 1 can coconut cream or whatever safe thicker non dairy option you like. If you REALLY want to up the creamy factor, go check out my recipe for a condensed cream of chicken base

Instructions
 

  • I used my instant pot for this recipe. You can totally make it on the stove top as well, just follow along with the directions but instead of pressure cooking you will simmer and stir for about 30 min.
  • chop onion
  • mix up your safe seasoning blend
  • here I set my Instant Pot to sauté and added in my coconut oil and onions, sauté for a few minutes but onions don't need to be fully transparent at this point
  • add in ground chicken to your pot with your sautéed onions
  • cook and breakup ground chicken until fully done but not OVER done, we still have some cooking time to go!
  • add your seasoning blend and stir to combine
  • add in your sweet potatoes, AND bone broth.
    (I do not change the cooking time on this in the Instant Pot if I'm using fresh potatoes vs. frozen. When cooking on the stovetop you might want to add a little cooking time and just make sure your fresh sweet potatoes get nice and tender.)
  • IF USING INSTANT POT, seal and set to soup setting for 20 minutes, natural or quick release is fine, I tend to be in a hurry and quick release!
  • IF USING STOVE TOP, simmer and stir occasionally for about 30 minutes until all ingredients are married and tender!
  • turn off heat, and add in full can of coconut cream, I give mine a good shake before opening so its all combined and creamy
  • add chopped Kale into hot soup and stir in to combine
  • SERVE! Add additional salt and pepper if needed!
