Healing Chicken Soup

This healing soup is one of the most nutritious and nourishing meals around. It’s one of my go-to meals for when anyone in the family feels a bit run down and really is food for the soul. A good dose of protein and a rainbow of carbohydrate and fibre-rich vegetables — what more could you ask for in a meal?

Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, crushed or finely grated
  • 5cm ginger root, finely grated
  • 8 boneless & skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1L chicken stock or bone broth
  • 1½ tsp sea salt (if your broth is already salted, reduce to taste)
  • 10 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • ½ broccoli, broken into florets
  • 2 red capsicums, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • Bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Method


  • Place a large pan over a moderate heat and add the oil, garlic, ginger and chicken thighs. Stir-fry for 5 mins until the chicken looks translucent.
  • Add the broth, sea salt and shiitake mushrooms and bring to a simmer for another 5 mins.
  • Add the carrot, broccoli, capsicum and zucchini and cook for 5 more mins to slightly soften the vegetables.
  • Check the seasoning. Sea salt really brings out the flavour in this simple soup.
  • Serve in bowls topped with the fresh coriander leaves.
