This beetroot and chicken soup is supper simple and easy to make, but yummy and very nourishing and warming to the soul.
The soup is inspired by a Russian soup called borscht that a family friend once made. I made the soup with similar ingredients, but I just altered some bits to make it low histamine, I also left out the sour cream in the end, but can always be added if tolerated. The soup would then be served with some black bread, but could also be any bread that is tolerated, or crispy parsnips if can’t tolerate any grains or nuts.
Ingredients
- 2 beetroots chopped
- 2 white onions finely chopped
- 1/4 sweet potato peeled and chopped
- half a courgette chopped into pieces
- chunk of butternut squash finely chopped
- 1 chicken breast chopped into pieces
- fresh rosemary
- fresh thyme
- fresh basil
- coconut oil (odourless)
- rock salt
Method
Sweat the onions in the coconut oil until golden brown, then add in the chicken and herbs and gently saute’ for around 5 minutes, then add in the rest of the veg and around a cup water, bring to a boil, then gently simmer for around an hour, add more water if needed, then it’s ready to munch.
