Notes

You can be flexible with the chicken. Add raw chicken thighs or breast if you like. Or pre-cook them and shred before adding to the soup. I use rotisserie chickens because I have talked to all of my local sellers and gone through and checked all the ingredients. I may be hard where you live to get an AIP approved rotisserie chicken. I do know that in San Francisco Whole Foods makes certified gluten free rotisserie chickens, but call yours to confirm. xoxo
