Save for later!

We’ve been fighting colds all week, so I made a pot of THM-friendly Chicken Soup to help kick the bug while staying on plan. This soup is an E because of the higher carb count in the carrots and onions. If you’re only having a small amount, you can consider this a Fuel Pull.

Chicken breasts provide a lean source of protein. I like to throw them in the pot and shred the chicken with a fork after its been cooked, but you can also cut the breasts into chunks before cooking if you prefer.

Own this soup by adjusting the herb measurements to your liking. A lightly buttered (no more than a teaspoon) slice of Gwen’s E bread makes a delicious dipper!
