There is no dish that has more of a classic appeal than this paleo creamy chicken tomato soup. It is a simple dish that is made using simple ingredients. But its taste is anything but simple. It is actually a powerhouse of flavor that you will definitely enjoy. One of the benefits of using tomatoes and chicken as primary ingredients is that they have rather bland inherent flavorings, meaning you can continuously spice this dish up to taste how you want it to taste.
Health Benefits
