Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and fresh turmeric (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Bloom the Spices: Add the ground turmeric (if you didn’t use fresh), cumin, and black pepper to the pot. Stir constantly for 30 seconds.
  • Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and add the whole chicken breasts or thighs. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add Veggies and Chicken: Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the carrots and celery. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight bite.
  • Finish with Creaminess and Zing: Turn off the heat. Stir in the coconut milk and fresh lemon juice. Taste the soup and add salt as needed.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with plenty of fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot.
