Coconut Lemon Chicken Soup - Quirky Cooking

Whenever anyone in our family starts to come down with a cold, I get out the stock pot and make a great big batch of chicken stock so I can make lots of chicken soup! There’s nothing better than old-fashioned chicken soup when you’re feeling achy and miserable, in the throes of a bad cold. But when you get tired of ‘old-fashioned’ chicken soup, try this one for a change. This is my new favourite – it’s so delicious, and the fresh herbs and spices and chilli are great for colds, not to mention the thick, jellyish, golden stock. It’s a comforting remedy for colds, chills and sore throats. (Adapted from recipes in “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon.)

It really is true that a rich chicken broth – the famous Jewish penicillin – is a wonderful remedy for the flu.

“Science validates what our grandmothers knew. Rich homemade chicken broths help cure colds. Stock contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily-not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons–stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain.”

– Weston Price Foundation(see full article)

 

So get out your stock pot, and start cooking!

See this recipe for how to cook up the delicious and nutritious chicken broth for this soup: 

Bone Broths (Liquid Stocks)

If you don’t have time to make a slow-cooked broth, you can make a quick version in the Thermomix, while cooking a chicken on top in the Varoma (takes approx. one hour) – see my cookbook for that recipe.

Note: You can find Fine sea salt,  Aussie Kibble Pepper and Organic Garlic for this recipe in my online store!

    I just made this soup and can’t wait to eat it for our dinner. I even made your chicken broth to use. There are just a couple of points I found when making up the recipe. Firstly, with the reserved herbs it may be a good idea in Step 3 to add except chicken & reserved herbs and secondly there is no mention what to do with the chili. Should be be chopped in Step 1.

    Wow, this was wonderful. We have all got the flu and feeling horrible and this soup just hit the spot.

    Will definitly be buying the second

    Hi there. What kind of spring onions are used in this? I always think of spring onions as the long green ones but the fact that this recipe says ‘quartered’ makes me wonder if it means the small onions a bit like shallots?? I have the long green ones so can I substitute them? Thanks

      Hi Sandy, you’re correct – the spring onions are the long green ones so you would quarter them lengthways. xx

    Oh man, I’ve been wanting to make this soup for years and finally did tonight. This was soooo good and the one in the house with the manflu had seconds. I didn’t have time to make broth this time but I bought chicken bone broth from our local health food store. I cut up raw chicken breast into thin strips and added it into step 2. I also added green beans in the last 5-10 mins. I found this also really fun to make, with the beautiful smells and colours (does that sound weird?! I don’t care if it does haha). Safe to say this will become our new ‘chicken soup’. Thanks, Jo!

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

I’ve put my order in for a coffee table because the Qld maple is so beautiful! (What do you think, Quirky coffee tables next? 😂)

I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

Oh hey, Friday, so nice to see you! 🤗 Seems lik Oh hey, Friday, so nice to see you! 🤗 Seems like a good day for pumpkin pie… I’d rather be baking than sitting at the computer today. 🙃 But first, I have a new podcast to edit and release, and lots of beautiful wooden chopping boards and grazing boards to release on the website! And a massage… 🙌🏻 Then it’s pumpkin pie time! 😄

Have you tried my pumpkin pie recipe from Simple, Healing Food? It’s an easy recipe, and so yummy! A creamy, spicy, not-too-sweet filling in an almond pastry crust. Mmmmm 😍 

Let me know if you want a video how-to!

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍
