chicken soup with almond butter Spring is here, but there are still some cold rains left to be had in our section of Northern California. If you’re like most people then that means cold rainy days are in need of a warm and tasty bowl of soup. Chicken soup isn’t just good for your health, it’s also good for the soul.

It’s something that has been around for so long that it’s good to change it up now and again. This twist on chicken soup is inspired by North Africa and the creaminess of the soup is 100% smooth almond butter, no cream or milk added. It makes an already healthy dish even healthier with an extra taste.

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 40 mins

Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

4 cups chicken stock
½ yellow onion
- finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large sweet potato
- peeled and finely chopped
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup Maisie Jane’s Smooth Almond Butter
½ cups trimmed and roughly chopped collard greens (kale or Swiss chard would also work)
2 tablespoons peeled and finely minced ginger
salt and pepper
- to taste
lime wedges
- for serving

Instructions

In a large pot, combine your stock, onion, garlic and sweet potato and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add in the chicken. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the almond butter and ½ cup of the hot stock until it becomes a thick paste. Set aside.
Add in the collard leaves and minced ginger, and again, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or so. Stir in the almond butter paste. Season with salt and pepper, and taste. Add a few red pepper flakes, if you’d like some heat. Serve the soup hot with lime wedges.
