I had a friend coming over for lunch who told me she had been struggling with digestive issues. I thought this would be the perfect soup to soothe her tummy troubles and fill her with nourishment. It has grass fed beef, healing bone broth and easy to digest slow cooked veggies such as carrots, celery, onions and turnips. Green beans are also an option but if someone is following a very strict version of AIP they can use chopped kale. My guest was so excited about the soup that I sent her home with the leftovers and she was overjoyed. This soup is great for people who are following the Autoimmune protocol on the Paleo diet.

I can’t wait to try this! I always have bone broth and grass-fed ground beef in my freezer and I’m getting pretty tired of the same old things. I never thought to put ground beef in my bone broth so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. It’s also great that it is tomato-free because I can’t have nightshades. Thanks so much for sharing such a creative recipe!
