Chicken Vegtable Alfredo Soup

I know it's summer and super hot outside but for some reason I keep craving soups. Perhaps, I am just ready for Fall! I love soup for so many reasons. Its warming, comforting, nourishing and tasty! Today I decided to share one of my family's favorite soup recipes, Chicken Vegetable Alfredo Soup. My two year old isn't much of a veggie fan yet, so I absolutely love that she eats this soup up! I also use homemade bone broth (which is rich in minerals and healing to the gut) as well as grass fed butter (great source for vitamin K2) and raw grass fed milk. I also like to add extra gelatin and raw egg yolks to this soup. I did not add those ingredients in the recipe below, but feel free to add them if you would also like to boost the nutrients in this soup! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
