Weekly Soup




I make sure to make a weekly chicken bone broth with vegetables. It is a good base for many soups, nutritional and if you make it yourself you know exactly what goes in.

I add apple cider vinegar to draw the minerals out of the bone. Depending on the price of chicken, I may get a whole chicken or a bunch of thighs and legs.

If there is no mold on the onion peels I leave them in the soup too because they have minerals not found in the inner layers.

When I have cauliflower leaves, they get added in. Today I had some zucchini and Brussels sprouts. Most of the vegetables get blended and added back to the broth after cooking. I separate the meat from the bones and add it back in as well. I will reserve some broth for other recipes as well.

This soup is great even for breakfast as it is a great food to kick off your digestion for the day. I learned this from a friend of mine who was born in China. Over there it's a common breakfast food. In my experience with Crohn's disease, I often don't even want to eat in the morning because it sometimes makes me feel sick. Soup is something I can always tolerate.

What foods have you found that are always easy for you to digest?
