Lime Coconut Chicken Soup – My Paleo Crockpot


Ingredients:
  • 6 qt. crockpot
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • Juice from 4 limes
  • 3 T fish sauce
  • 1 T chili paste (or chili flakes work, too - again, use as much or as little as you like and remember YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE LATER but you can't take it out)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 1/2 inch garlic, peeled and freshly grated
  • 3 medium sized tomatoes, chopped into large chunks
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
  • 3-4 small sweet bell peppers (or 1 large red bell pepper), chopped
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (more or less if you prefer - this makes a pretty hearty soup, so if you prefer a leaner soup, maybe only use a pound)

    Instructions:
  1. Dump the first seven ingredients together in the crockpot. Mix them together. Voila! You have your soup base.
  2. Chop up the rest of the ingredients and add them. We like our veggies to be bigger chunks in the soup, but to each his own; chop them up as you like.
  3. Cut up the chicken and cook it on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
