Turkey & Sweet Potato Soup

October25

We love this soup.  I was super hesitant to put in the nut butter.  It tasted great without it and I am a whimp when it comes to things out of my comfort zone.  I am learning that much of this comes from my childhood of meat and potatoes  and I have decided that I will not let that stop me anymore.  Mind over matter.  So I did it, I added the nut butter and it made the dish 10 times better.  Don’t let your fear of weird keep you from trying this soup.  It is fantastic!!!

Paleo Chili

October20

We love chili in the fall.  At first I thought chili was out this month as we are doing The Whole 30 Challenge and that meant no beans.  I decided to give it a try anyway minus the beans and it was a success.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Recipe: Paleo Chili

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 zucchini, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cans tomato sauce
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, brown turkey until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add diced veggies and cook until onion are becoming translucent. (You may be able to just add them in if you are letting the chili sit on the stove for a few hours but we were in a hurry to get it done)
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
  4. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer.
  5. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours for best results. (It is good almost right away if you already cooked the veggies though.)
