Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breast
  • 32 Ounces Chicken Broth
  • 13.5 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 Sweet Onion, Chopped
  • 2-3 Green Bell Peppers
  • 1-2 Cups Grape Tomatoes, Sliced in half
  • 29 Ounces Cannellini Beans
  • 1 Lime, Juiced
  • 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

Preparing the Vegetables

  • Add a large pot to a burner on medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil, avocado oil, or a dollop of coconut oil. When the oil is warm, add in the diced onions. Sauté for a few minutes, and then add in the minced garlic. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
  • Once the onions are starting to caramelize, add in the green peppers. Stir for a few minutes, then add in chicken broth, full fat coconut milk, grape tomatoes, cannellini beans, lime juice, fresh cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Cooking the Soup

  • Drop in the chicken breast, and cover the pot. Turn the temperature to medium/low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off, remove the cover and use tongs or a large fork to remove the chicken breast. Add it to a large bowl, and shred the chicken with two forks.

Serving

  • Next, add the shredded chicken back into the soup, and stir well. Serve hot with extra chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and lime juice!

Notes

Helpful Tips

  • Use a vegetable chopper to prepare the peppers and onion. It saves on prep time!
  • Prepare all of the vegetables and herbs ahead of time so you can easily toss them into the pot when you're ready.
  • To shred the chicken, use two forks or a hand mixer! The hand mixer shreds the chicken in a few seconds with little effort.
  • For an extra kick of heat, add chopped jalapeño into the pot while it's simmering.
