Ingredients
- – 2 chicken breasts (500g)
- – 2 liters chicken stock low sodium (2 quarts)
- – 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
- – 1 white onion diced
- – 240g celery chopped (2 cups)
- – 4 cloves garlic minced
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) ginger shred it or mince it
- – 3 carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
- – 300g broccoli chopped (2 1/2 cups)
- – 225g frozen peas (1 1/2 cups)
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) turmeric powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) red chili flakes (reduce to 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) if needed)
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
- – Salt and pepper crushed, to taste
- – 120 ml parsley chopped (1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the vegetables. You may either dice them into chunks or shred them into smaller pieces.
- Chop the onions and celery finely. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Cut the broccoli into medium-sized florets. Chop the celery into small bits.
- Mince both the garlic and ginger.
- Place a large soup pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the onions, celery, minced garlic, and ginger in the olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions start to become translucent and soft.
- Introduce the raw chicken breasts to the pot along with the carrots, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, turmeric, and chicken stock.
- Allow the mixture to reach a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, place a lid on the pot, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken breasts are fully cooked and remain juicy (ensure not to overcook the chicken).
- Using tongs, remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a wooden cutting board. Add the chopped broccoli, frozen peas, and chopped parsley to the pot. Continue cooking until the broccoli is soft. If the broth level drops below the vegetables, add more broth to ensure they are fully submerged.
- While the vegetables are cooking, use two forks to shred the cooked chicken breasts.
- Once the broccoli is tender, return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir everything together and let it heat for another 2 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.
- Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the soup with a touch of fresh lemon juice or a splash of soy sauce before serving.
- To thicken the soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in towards the end of cooking.
- Customize the recipe by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
