Servings 5
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 small sweet potatoes peeled & cut into ½-⅔ inch cubes
- 1 inch fresh ginger grated or finely chopped
- ¾ cup chopped green onion tips
- 1 tbsp low FODMAP curry powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 4 cups low FODMAP chicken broth
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups curly kale, roughly chopped
- 1 cup canned lentils OR additional chopped vegetables for Paleo/Whole30 (i.e., carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini) drained & rinsed
- 1-14.5 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
- ⅓ cup cilantro chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, sauté sweet potato in garlic-infused olive oil on medium-high for 5 minutes. After the first couple of minutes, toss in other root vegetables if subbing out the lentils to keep it Paleo & Whole30.
- Once 5 minutes is up, add in ginger, green onion tips, curry powder and cayenne pepper, if using. Stir and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add in chicken breast and curly kale and bring the soup back to a boil before reducing the heat to simmer for 5 minutes. Add non-root vegetables if subbing out the lentils.
- After 5 minutes, add in coconut milk and lentils, if using. Simmer for another 5-8 minutes, ensuring chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in cilantro and simmer for a couple more minutes before removing from heat and serving.
Notes
- If using store-bought garlic-infused oil that is not certified FODMAP-friendly, make sure to use a brand that doesn’t list “garlic oil,” “garlic essential oil,” “garlic essence,” “garlic flavoring,” “natural roasted garlic flavor,” or anything similar in the ingredients list. There’s no way to know whether these ingredients are low FODMAP. More on that in this article on FODMAP Everyday.
