Chicken, Yam, and Chard Soup-Paleo Plan Recipe

I love soups, so trying out a different soup is exciting, and it was yummy. This is totally paleo as well.

• 2 Tablespoons coconut or olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Heat large pot over medium-high heat. When hot add those ingredients and saute until onion is slightly translucent.

• 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken (I used leftovers from a rotiserrie chicken we had) diced into 1 inch cubes (or shredded if using rotiserrie)
• sea salt
• pepper

Toss those ingredients and add to pot and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• 4 cups broth (chicken, veggie, beef all fine)
• 6 cups water
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 oz jalapenos, canned and diced
• 1 large yam (I used a sweet potato), diced
• 1 bunch chard, chopped (I used kale--can use spinach too)
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• juice of one lemon

Reduce heat to meduim, add the remaining ingredients.

Just before serving, season with sea salt and black pepper and fresh lemon juice. DELICIOUS! For my family, one and a halfed this recipe, so not quite doubled, and it made plenty, with leftovers for lunch, or second dinner...:)
