Chicken Curry Soup

, ,

We love soup, and we love curry, so it only made sense to put them together!

The inspiration from this recipe comes from our desire to find a delicious food to help with our body systems while we come off the birth control pill. The two main areas we were looking to support were the liver and the gut. Our liver is the primary organ of detoxification, working to eliminate any excess estrogen in our systems. However, taking birth control impairs the liver's ability to eliminate estrogen. Our gut works with our liver’s to remove excess estrogen via the bowels, the birth control pill can also disrupt our gut microbiome, impairing gut function.

We do want to take this moment to also quickly note, when cooking with animal protein such as chicken, we cannot advocate enough for getting your meat from a more humane source, this helps to ensure you are getting a good quality of animal protein. Your body will thank you, and it tastes better!
