Healthy Soup Prep Hack
The secret to getting a blood sugar-balancing soup on the table in no time? The rotisserie chicken hack! It cuts the time and effort without cutting out the protein.
When choosing a rotisserie chicken, go for organic or pasture-raised options with minimal ingredients and no added sugars or preservatives. Opting for a high quality rotisserie chicken allows for clean protein that saves you time, helping you get dinner on the table fast.
Nourishment & Satiety: Why This Easy and Healthy Soup Works
- Clean animal protein: Keeps you full, supports muscle maintenance, and helps balance blood sugar.
- Bone broth: Adds collagen, amino acids, and minerals to support gut health, immunity, and joint function.
- Veggies and herbs: Zucchini, carrots, spinach, and cilantro provide fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants for overall wellness and microbiome health.
- Fresh lime and jalapeño: Brighten the flavors for the perfect Taco Tuesday vibe, without extra processed ingredients.
This soup is light but satisfying, making it ideal for big families, busy weeknights, or anyone who wants to enjoy healthier comfort food that actually gets you closer to your health goals. Bonus: it’s kid-approved and versatile enough to serve as tacos (decrease the broth!), over cauliflower rice bowls, or as meal-prep lunches for the week.
