It’s soup season ya’ll! And this Gluten-Free Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup is perfect for these colder months and darker days!
I get very into soup when cold weather rolls in. I mean, to be fair, I now live in Charleston, SC where “cold” weather is like, 55 degrees. Which works out very well for me, since I hate being cold.
But I still love to snuggle up to a dining room table with my family and just chat while our Christmas tree sparkles in the background – while eating soup. It’s so damn homey.
Health benefits of this Gluten-Free Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup:
- packed with protein from the chicken
- made with homemade bone broth (recipe HERE), this soup is very healing for the gut
- boosts the immune system via the broth, veggies, adequate protein, fiber and garlic (all of which also benefit gut health)
- rich in antioxidants from the veggies and herbs
- decent amount of fiber from the veggies and wild rice
- great for gut health due to the various plants in this soup, which beneficial gut bacteria feed on
- bone broth is high in glycine, which is the amino acid the stomach lining is mostly made up of, therefore it strengthens the gut
Tips:
- If you’d like to switch out the protein, feel free! Turkey would go very well.
- I made this lactose-free using Green Valley cream cheese.
- To make this dairy-free, use a nut based cream cheese or even coconut cream.
- To make this keto, use cauliflower rice.
