Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion , minced ( or 1 shallot minced)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 large carrots , peeled and chopped
  • 1 head of cauliflower , cut into small florets ( if it is large, use only half)
  • 3 cups potatoes cut into bite sized cubes
  • 1 pound chicken breast or chicken tenders cut into 1.5 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional, if you don't have it you don't need it but it adds nice flavor)
  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a large soup pan. Sauté the minced onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, cauliflower and potatoes to the pan.
  • Then add the chicken, all the herbs and spices ( salt, pepper turmeric, rosemary, oregano, thyme and nutritional yeast) and the chicken stock to the pan. Mix everything together.
  • Once the soup starts to boil, let it simmer for 25-30 minutes. If it is boiling to much, reduce the heat to low medium.

Notes

  • You can add celery.
  • Instead of white potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes.
  • Instead of dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried oregano, you can use fresh ones.
  • Instead of chicken stock, you can use bone broth, or a mixture of both bone broth and chicken soup.
  • Instead of fresh onion and fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder and onion powder. Just add these to the bone broth later, and skip the sautéing step.
