Savory Shamrock Soup (with a pot of gold included)

So today I was at my sister's-in-law house and we were planning to go shopping to look at baby clothes. And just so no one assumes the wrong thing, I am not expecting any baby. I was shopping for a friend's baby. :)

Anyway, I was getting hungrier by the minute (famished really) and we had not left yet. Thankfully, I live right around the corner so I headed over there to make myself a quick bowl of soup. I didn't have any made up already BUT I did have the chicken broth in the refrig and chopped veggies in the freezer. I created this new soup recipe because I wanted something different from what I had been eating and I am getting quite tired of carrots, cauliflower, and yellow squash. I decided to make a green soup and while I was at it, I decided it would be a St. Patrick's theme soup with the festivities less than a week away. I really wish I had taken pictures, but my camera was not available. It looked quite festive for St. Paddy's day with the colors of green, white, and gold as it simmered in the pan.

Here is what I did for the soup:

I put about 2 cups of broth in a saucepan. I added some of my frozen, chopped zucchini, some fresh chopped broccoli florets, about 1/4 of thinly sliced onion, two minced garlic cloves and some sea salt.
I let all the veggies cook in the broth then I decided to go ahead and add an egg yolk to the warm broth. I know it is supposed to be for stage 2 and I planned to start stage 2 tomorrow but I was soooo hungry and needed something filling and quick so I figured jumping half a day ahead wouldn't hurt. :)
I let the egg yolk kind of poach in the broth then I dished it up into a bowl and tried it out. It was really quite good. The combination of veggies was flavorful and satisfying and the egg yolk gave it some extra creaminess and flavor. I also added a bit of fresh avocado toward the end to make it more filling and rich.

2 cups bone broth (chicken, beef, or turkey)
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/3-1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets
1/4 onion thinly sliced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 egg yolk added toward the end of cooking (pure delicious gold)
Sea salt to taste
Sliced avocado for garnish

Makes 1-2 servings of soup.

Depending on what stage of GAPS you are on, you could adapt it for your needs. Either leave out the avocado or egg yolk to make it compatible with Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3.

Maybe if you tell your kids it will give them super-powers like the Irish, they will be eager to eat it too. ;)
