Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced onion
• 3 medium, sliced carrots
• 2 sliced celery stalks
• 4 cloves, minced garlic
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 2

Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and continue to simmer.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough into the simmering soup to form the dumplings.

Step 7

Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in coconut milk and let the soup heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
