Here is a variation on chicken soup that’s rich with the flavors of curry, shiitake mushrooms, and cilantro. It’s thickened with coconut milk to induce satiety. The best results are obtained by using homemade chicken broth, though store-bought (look for brands without wheat flour, cornstarch, or other grain derivatives) still yields a delicious end result. Makes 6 servings.
¼ cup coconut oil
1 pound chicken breasts, cubed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 quart chicken broth
2 cans (14 ounces each) coconut milk
¼ cup curry powder
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the coconut oil. Cook the chicken until lightly browned and no longer pink on the inside. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Add the curry powder, cinnamon, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed. Bring to a low simmer to heat through.

It’s a very good recipe. I added more salt, sliced green and red peppers and some Tabasco sauce to give it a kick.
This recipe calls for cubed chicken. The picture shows shredded chicken. Are we supposed to shred the cube chicken after cooking?
My husband and I started the wheat belly diet about 31/2 years ago.. He went from 210 to 160.. I went from 137 to 110. He preaches to anyone that will listen. He is the spokesperson for you. He tries to tell people how to change their way of eating. Most of them don’t want to hear it
Victoria,
My family has been on grain free for 5 and a half years now. Keep talking your talk and walking your walk! It is true that most people don’t want to hear, but those that do listen and then benefit will become the next people to start talking! ‘-)
