  1. 1
    round cup one : chicken
  2. 2
    chicken broth

    Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.

  3. 3
    rice

    Generic rice. Could be white or brown, the label doesn't say. Brown rice would be specified if it were.

  4. 4
    pumpkin

    Soluble fiber that supports stool quality. Mild and well-tolerated.

  5. 5
    carrot

    Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants. Same as carrots, sometimes singular on labels.

    green pea
  7. 7
    calcium lactate

    Calcium source from lactic acid fermentation. Functional, well-tolerated.

    Prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Same compound found in chicory root.
