As I’m writing this I’m feeling very under the weather. Whenever I start to feel sick or the girls get sick I make a pot of Adrenal Health Soup because it’s full of all sorts of super foods. The honey is also a natural anti-bacterial source.  It’s a great food to help tired adrenals as well. I guess that is why it’s called Adrenal Health Soup. If you Google it you’ll find all sorts of adaptations.

A handful of fresh green beans. If they’re not available then frozen is best

1 cup chopped celery

2 leeks

3 zucchini, sliced

3 squash, sliced

1 medium onion, chopped

Chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp. raw honey

1 tsp. Paprika

1 whole chicken

salt and pepper

Olive Oil

Cook the whole chicken until the meet falls off the bone. Pull the chicken out of the broth and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth so that there isn’t any skin left. Heat your olive oil up in a pan, saute your onions first and then add all other vegetables, salt, pepper and paprika. After about five minutes, dump all the ingredients and the honey into the broth and set to simmer. De-bone your chicken placing the meat into the broth. Simmer for about thirty minutes. I’ll cook this in the morning and let it simmer all day, refrigerate it and start over again the next day.
