Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Warm a tablespoon of neutral oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric and grated ginger. Stir and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and increase to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
- Add the shredded chicken and simmer for 15 minutes so flavors meld and the chicken warms through.
- Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version and substitute chicken with firm tofu or chickpeas. For extra richness, stir in a splash of coconut milk at the end.
