Description
A warming and nourishing soup featuring chicken, coconut milk, and turmeric for added health benefits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken (substitute with chickpeas for a vegetarian option)
- 1 can (14 oz) Coconut Milk
- 4 cups Chicken Broth (use vegetable broth for a plant-based alternative)
- 1 tbsp Turmeric
- 1 Onion (diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (minced, can be omitted if sensitive to spice)
- 2 Carrots (sliced)
- 1 Red Bell Pepper (diced)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh Cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Coconut Turmeric Chicken Soup. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and dice the onion, garlic, and ginger. Slice the carrots and red bell pepper.
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Introduce the chicken to the pot and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are golden.
- Stir in the sliced carrots and diced red bell pepper, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle turmeric over the mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring gently. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- After simmering, check the chicken for doneness. Shred if desired and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- This soup can be made vegetarian by substituting chickpeas for chicken.
- Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste.
