Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks or strips

Vegetables

  • 1 medium cauliflower head, chopped into bite-sized florets
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Broth and Liquids

  • 6 cups bone broth or low-sodium chicken broth

Spices and Herbs

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric (fresh preferred or powdered)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Fats and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, dice the carrots and celery, mince the garlic and ginger, and cut the chicken into small chunks or strips to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant and golden, about 1–2 minutes, to release their natural oils and flavors.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink on the outside to seal in juices and ensure tender meat after simmering.
  4. Build the Broth: Pour in the bone broth or chicken broth, then stir in turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to simmer.
  5. Add Vegetables and Simmer: Add cauliflower, carrots, and celery to the pot. Let everything simmer together for 20–25 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Turn off the heat and stir in freshly chopped parsley or thyme to add brightness and balance to the soup’s richness.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric when possible for a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.
  • Don’t skip the garlic and ginger—they create a powerful flavor base and boost immune defenses.
  • Simmer gently on low heat to preserve nutrients in vegetables and chicken.
  • Stir in olive oil at the end to help absorb turmeric’s fat-soluble benefits.
  • Customize thickness by blending a portion of the soup for a creamier texture without cream.
