Description
This Golden Glow Anti-Inflammatory Chicken Soup is packed with healing ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and mint. With a rich, nourishing broth and tender shredded chicken, this comforting soup is perfect for chilly days or when you need an immune-boosting meal.
Ingredients
1 pound chicken thighs (bone-in), 1 potato (peeled and chopped) (or substitute with lentils or quinoa if avoiding nightshades), 1 carrot (chopped), 1 onion (chopped), 2 tablespoons dried mint, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ cup cauliflower (chopped), 4-5 cups filtered water, salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Create a Rich Broth – Cook the chicken thighs in 4-5 cups of salted filtered water over medium heat.
- Infuse with Flavor – Once the water starts boiling, add onion, potato, turmeric, and mint. Cover and let it cook on medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Chicken – After 20-30 minutes, remove the chicken thighs and place them in a bowl of cool filtered water. Once cooled, remove the meat from the bones and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Blend for a Silky Base (Optional) – Use a hand blender to partially blend the broth for a thicker texture.
- Final Touches – Add shredded chicken back to the pot along with its broth. Stir in carrots, ginger, and cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper. Let everything cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Serve & Savor – Enjoy warm and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- For added depth, try using bone broth instead of water.
- Want it heartier? Add quinoa or lentils for extra protein and fiber.
- Storage Tip: This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
