Our Favourite Healthy Chicken Soup
RECIPE
This recipe came from a friend’s dad, we’ve been cooking it for years and it’s a staple in our kitchen throughout winter. I love cooking this whenever we’re sick or on a cold, rainy day. This was also a meal I prepped before Goldie’s birth and enjoyed postpartum.
This is a great meal to freeze into portions, if you find that you need more liquid - just add extra water and season if needed.

1 tbsp Coconut Oil
Small leek chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 cup buckwheat
500g Chicken thigh fillets - chopped into 5cm pieces
1 large sweet potato cut into cubes
Large handful of cup mushrooms cut into quarters
2L of chicken stock
salt & pepper
Large handful of Kale, stems removed
TO SERVE
Fresh, buttered bread
METHOD
Heat olive oil in a large pot and add leek & garlic and sauté until soft over medium heat
Add buckwheat, sweet potato, chicken, mushrooms and stock, bring to a boil and let simmer until sweet potato has softened
