Bone broth soup base

(5 min prep, 20 min simmering)

A quick and easy that’s full of nourishing ingredients for postpartum recovery (serves 2-3).

Ingredients:

• 1 liter store-bought bone broth
• 150g cooked rice
• 75g shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 medium carrot, chopped (approx. 60g)
• 30g spinach (1 handful)
• 3g salt (½ tsp)
• 1g black pepper (¼ tsp)

Method:

1. In a medium-sized pot, heat the bone broth over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Bone broth is already packed with flavor, so this step only takes a few minutes.
2. Add the chopped carrots to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, until they begin to soften.
3. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, cooked rice, and spinach to the pot. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning to your preference, keeping in mind that the broth may already have some salt content.
5. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. The warm liquid will be soothing and nourishing, perfect for a postpartum meal.
6. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup in portions for a convenient, reheatable meal later.
