Description
A comforting and nourishing soup made with chicken and cauliflower, packed with anti-inflammatory spices for a warm, delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (250 g) 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
- 2 cups chicken broth (or water)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small cooking pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, followed by the turmeric and black pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add the cauliflower florets and pour in 2 cups of chicken broth (or water). Give it a gentle stir, cover the pot, and let it cook at medium-high heat for around 7 minutes.
- After the cauliflower softens slightly, add the grated ginger, dried mint, and chopped carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the carrot has softened.
- Now comes the fun part—grab your immersion blender! Blend the soup halfway to thicken it up while keeping some texture.
- Finally, add the shredded cooked chicken and a splash of extra broth (about 1 cup) if it seems too thick. Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste. Cook for about 5-6 more minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil for an extra touch of richness. Then, ladle the soup into bowls and prepare to enjoy!
Notes
This soup can be paired with crusty bread or a fresh salad. For variation, consider adding a dollop of yogurt or fresh herbs on top.
