Recipe: Prep: 2 1/2 hours Serves: 2 meals
1 whole organic chicken - skinned
8-9 cups organic chicken stock
2 - 13.5 cans organic coconut milk
Juice from 2 organic limes - freshly squeezed
1 large organic leek - cut into 3/16 slices (both green and white parts)
1 medium organic onion - diced
3 cups organic carrots - cut into 1/8 inch round slices
4-5 cloves organic garlic - minced
2 tbsp. organic ginger - minced
3 tbsp. organic red miso - *Miso Master brand is very good*

2 tsp. organic lemon pepper
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp organic chili powder
16oz. organic whole wheat Capellini pasta - broke into 1/4 inch sections
1 cup organic cilantro leaves (per each meal) - can be chopped
Put chicken into crock pot and fill with water and cook on
high heat for 2 hours.
Steam carrots in a little water, in skillet, until tender.
When chicken is done, then remove to cutting board to cool some.
Skim off any fat from surface of stock.
Note: You can either continue to use the crock pot or transfer
the stock and chicken to a dutch oven/stock pot.
Whisk the miso with a little of the stock to blend well.
Measure out the stock - the amount will depend on the size of
your pot.
Pull the chicken meat and add all the ingredients together
- except Capelline pasta - in the pot of your choice.
Then heat until hot and then add the pasta.
This will only need about 5-7 minutes to cook.
Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with cilantro. Enjoy!
Tip: To make collagen, put the chicken bones into a crock pot
and add several garlic cloves, a few small celery stalks, several
halved onions and add enough water to cover. Cook on low
overnight - about 12-18 hours.
