Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and let them cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender and fully cooked.

Step 7

Stir in the carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

Step 10

For a heartier meal, serve the soup over a scoop of cooked jasmine rice.
