Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Fresh Herbs & Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent to release their natural sweetness and form the flavorful base.
  2. Add Spices and Vegetables: Sprinkle in turmeric and black pepper, stirring to combine. Add chopped cauliflower and carrots, ensuring each piece is well-coated with spices to awaken their anti-inflammatory properties.
  3. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Pour the vegetable or chicken broth over the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is tender, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Add diced chicken breast to the simmering soup. Cook until the chicken is tender and juicy, infusing the broth with protein-rich goodness.
  5. Final Touches: Season the soup with salt, freshly chopped herbs, and adjust spices to taste. Stir well and serve hot for a nourishing, warming meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric and black pepper to enhance anti-inflammatory effects and flavor depth.
  • Add chicken towards the end of cooking to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Simmer gently to keep broth clear and rich while releasing nutrients.
  • For creaminess, blend a portion of cooked cauliflower and stir back into the soup.
  • Taste and adjust salt and herbs throughout cooking to balance flavors.
