This Italian chicken tomato soup is a healthy but hearty soup that is slow cooker easy, Paleo friendly, and surprisingly yummy.

This Italian chicken tomato soup is one of the few paleo recipes that I really find delicious. It gets a spicy kick from ranch dressing mix, which I use often to season meat and veggies for soup.

This soup calls for full fat coconut milk, which is the common dairy replacement on the Paleo diet. I worried that I would taste the coconut, but it really isn’t perceptible at all. As for the “full fat,” that doesn’t bother me either. I actually add coconut oil to my coffee every morning, as there are myriad health benefits to the type of fat found in coconuts.

A  similarly yummy & healthy soup is this Paleo Seafood Chowder, a recipe shared with me by my friend Barb. Paleo recipes are surely popular during the first of the year when many are dieting or fasting certain food groups. Both these soups get a thumbs up from me. If you try either of them, please let me know what you think.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!
