Description

A quick and comforting soup perfect for busy weeknights, packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and ginger.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz (250g) cooked chicken breast
  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and more black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil, onion, garlic, turmeric, and black pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes in a small cooking pot.
  2. Add the cauliflower and 2 cups of chicken broth (or water and some salt). Cover and cook at medium-high for around 7 minutes.
  3. Add the ginger, mint, and carrot and cook for another 5 minutes or until all the carrot has softened. Then, blend the soup halfway using an immersion blender.
  4. Add in the chicken, salt and pepper if needed, and about 1 more cup of broth (or water). Cook for 5-6 more minutes allowing the flavors to combine.
  5. Let the soup rest a minute before serving and add a drizzle of olive oil on top for a glossy finish.

Notes

Use a day-old poached or roasted chicken breast if you have it for better flavor. Fresh ginger and dried mint enhance the soup’s freshness.
