"Soup-er Soup" - Cilantro Lime Chicken Soup

Hey Y'all - I hope you are having a "SOUP-ER" day!

“Soup Season” is almost over, but I think this is one of those soups that I will cook year round. The amount of flavor in this soup is UNREAL. I have made it about 5 times now, if not more, and each time it is consistently delicious. I found this recipe here on Pinterest and modified it to match up with Stimulock Protocol.


Ingredients
·         2 Tbsp coconut oil
·         1 medium yellow onion
·         2 stalks celery
·         4 cloves garlic
·         4 boneless skinless chicken breast
·         4 cups low sodium chicken broth
·         2 cups of water
·         1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes w/chilies
·         1 tsp oregano
·         ½ Tbsp cumin
·         1 medium lime
·         ½ bunch cilantro

Instructions
   1.  Dice the onion and celery Mince the garlic , or throw in 4 tablespoons of pre-minced garlic. Cook the onion, celery, and garlic in coconut oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tender.
   2. Add the chicken breast, chicken broth, water, canned tomatoes with chilies, oregano, and cumin to the pot. Bring the whole pot up to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on top, and let simmer for one hour.
   3. After simmering for an hour with a lid on, carefully remove the chicken breast from the pot and use two forks to shred the meat. (weigh out your 5oz servings). Squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup. Get as much juice as possible from the lime by using a spoon to scrape the inside of the lime.
   4.  Rinse the cilantro and then roughly chop the leaves, add to the pot, give it a quick stir, and serve.
   5. Put 1 cup of “soup” into your bowl, add your 5oz of chicken and ENJOY!

 
   Tastes great when warmed up as left overs!
