Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized florets
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Protein & Broth

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 6 cups chicken broth

Spices & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, dice the carrots and onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and cut the chicken into small cubes for even cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Add Chicken and Spices: Stir in the cubed chicken, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, roughly 5-7 minutes, locking in flavors and keeping the chicken tender.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables and Broth: Add the cauliflower florets and diced carrots to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth to cover the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
  5. Finish with Fresh Elements: After simmering, remove from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the soup and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro to brighten the flavor and infuse freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use bone broth instead of regular chicken broth for added collagen and joint health benefits.
  • Do not overcook the chicken; remove from heat as soon as it’s cooked through to keep it juicy.
  • Optionally puree part or all of the soup for a creamy texture without adding dairy.
  • Fresh turmeric and ginger provide more potent anti-inflammatory effects than powdered forms.
  • Adjust salt gradually and taste often to prevent over-seasoning.
