Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding bone broth instead of chicken broth.
If you're not strict about Paleo, you can add a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.
Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on what you have on hand, such as zucchini or green beans.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
