Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Soup:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup kale or spinach, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté Onion: Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Incorporate Spices: Add the ground turmeric, cumin, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices.
  5. Add Chicken: Place the chicken thighs or breasts into the pot and pour in the chicken broth.
  6. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover. Let it cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  8. Include Vegetables: Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  9. Add Greens: Stir in the chopped kale or spinach and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  10. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and add salt as necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
