This recipe calls for butter but if you are following strict paleo isn’t butter prohibited?

Anyone have a recipe for chicken soup?
Myles Lasco
If you don’t have coconut aminos… you can make your own soy sauce substitute:
2 Tbs beef broth
1 Tbs of balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs red wine vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder (I also put about 2 gloves garlic minced into the soup with the onions)
A good amount of black pepper

Can’t find arrowroot powder. Anyone know a substitution or if I can leave it out?

Julia – Here’s an entire post devoted to this topic. http://www.foodsubs.com/ThickenStarch.html I’d use tapioca or kudzu starch personally. You can leave it out, but it just won’t be as thick.

Thank you! Just made it with tapioca starch. Looks delicious. Here’s to hoping it tastes that way too!
