A Feminine Warrioress Breakfast

Chicken soup is the perfect nourishing breakfast during the “luteal phase” of my menstrual cycle. I add in extra chicken for protein to assist in hormone production and clearance.

Here’s the easy recipe ….

Ingredients

Fat of Choice {I use Organic grass-fed ghee}

1 medium onion, diced

3 medium carrots, diced

1 zucchini, diced

¼ medium butternut pumpkin, chopped into cubes

340g of mushrooms, rough dice

4 to 5 cups of diced hormone-free raw chicken

1 tsp. dried thyme

1-2 tsp. dried rosemary + dried basil

½-1 tsp. ground cumin

1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

salt + pepper

around 1.5 litres of chicken broth (sometimes I use more)

Lemon {optional}

Instructions

Instructions

Heat up your chosen fat in a pressure cooker.

Add in as much chicken as you want. I like a lot of chicken in my soup! Stir to coat in the fat and gently saute the chicken pieces lightly.

Clean + chop your vegetables and add them in and stir around to coat in the fat.

Add in your herbs, cumin, apple cider vinegar, salt + pepper and stir everything together well.

Add in your chicken broth -- I used around 1.5 litres but just use as much as you want. You want it to cover the vegetables and chicken but after that it's totally up to you how much you add in.

Stir everything up, secure the lid, and cook for around 25 minutes. Once ready and cooled down, you can store in your fridge for heating up gently in the mornings for your simple but nutritious breakfast.

When serving I like to squeeze on a little bit of fresh lemon juice! It makes it even more yummy that it already is!

Of course play around with the herbs as garlic, turmeric, corriander, chilli and mint is another scruptious combination and the vegetables mentioned where just the ones I had on hand. Make it your own creation with any vegetables you like but make sure you add the mushrooms as they add to the protein content of your meal!!
