Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • salt to taste
  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp dried mint

Protein

  • 8 oz (250g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 3 cups chicken broth (divided, or substitute water with salt as needed)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, turmeric, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Cook Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets and 2 cups of chicken broth to the pot. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to soften.
  3. Add Ginger, Mint, and Carrot: Stir in the grated ginger, dried mint, and chopped carrot. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until the carrot becomes tender.
  4. Partially Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup halfway. This will thicken the texture without making it completely smooth, keeping some chunkiness for a hearty feel.
  5. Add Chicken and Adjust Seasoning: Stir in the cooked chicken breast, add salt and black pepper to taste, and pour in approximately 1 more cup of chicken broth. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the soup. Give it a final stir and serve warm, perfect for a nourishing meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth or water with added salt if preferred.
  • For a creamier soup, blend it completely instead of halfway.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley for garnish if desired.
  • Adjust turmeric and black pepper levels to your taste preference.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
