Notes

Kid- Friendly: Deconstruct the soup by removing a few potatoes, carrots & chicken and serving on their own. 
Stove Top instructions: In a large pot, saute the onions and garlic in the ghee. Allow them to soften about 5 minutes. Add veggies, seasonings, chicken & broth. Bring to boil before lowering to a simmer and simmering for 20 minutes. From here follow steps #4 and forward from above.
Substitutes: Replace 2 C. of chicken with diced or shredded turkey.
