Creamy Chicken and Tomato Soup


To make this easy. This whole recipe came from River North Paleo Girl.

Go make it. 

We have two daughters with birthdays in June. The first was today! My little June 1st baby turned 6. I think I am a bit in denial about that. Finished Kindergarten last Friday and turned 6 today. Noooooooo.... Stop growing up so fast. She is #5 of 7 and I know how fast it all goes. I am enjoying her NOW but when I think too far into the future I get a little melancholy and panicky.

Anyway. On our kids' birthdays we let them choose their meals for the day. She chose Oreo pancakes for breakfast. I wanted one sooooo badly. But since I am determined on this Whole30 I didn't cave. but seriously y'all, Oreos are my kryptonite. It was really hard to stay strong on that one. Then for lunch she wanted pizza and for dinner she really wanted tomato soup and quiche. Yes, weird combo, but she's 6 so whatever. I made a bacon and cheddar quiche which the kids love and then this soup. I only ate the soup and it was fantastic.

Birthday girls LOVES tomato soup. Like a fat kid loves cake (I know, I know, that is so not PC....but it still makes me laugh). I like it but it never really fills me up and satisfies my appetite. Plus I'm not entirely sure if the cans of tomato soup are Whole30 compliant. So I hunted for a good homemade recipe and found this on Pinterest. It was good! I loved the chicken in it and adding the coconut milk gave it a creamy texture that you can usually only get with milk + canned soup.

Hope you love it as much as birthday girl did :)
