Paleo Chicken Soup

This Paleo Chicken Soup is so satisfying and delicious you will want leftovers, so make sure you double the recipe.  Extra freezes up perfectly for a dinner at a later date.

My youngest son and I started CrossFit in July.  To say that we are both hooked is an understatement.  We signed up as partners for our first competition in November, I am a bit nervous, but he says “whats the big deal”.

One of the center ideals of CrossFit is a community and each ‘box’ which is the slang for the gym, puts together community building events where everyone can get together outside of their sweaty workout clothes, and get to know one another.  This last weekend our box had a party to celebrate their one year anniversary of being open for business.  I enjoyed seeing everyone all dolled up and getting to know those that workout at different times.

I had a wonderful conversation with a few members about our diets, how we eat, what we eat and how darn expensive it can be to eat the way we want.  I love meeting and talking with others who are as passionate about fitness and nutrition as I am.

That is what is so great about this recipe, there are a limited number of ingredients but tons of flavor.  I can’t express enough how delicious this soup is.  I always have it for lunch the next day with a salad and freeze any extra.

One of the ingredients you might not have heard of; arrowroot.  This is used in place of the flour in the roux, as a thickener.  You can also use tapioca flour.  Both can be found in your organic section at the grocery.  I use Bob Red Mill’s Natural foods arrowroot.
