Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated turmeric (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme (stems removed)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • ⅔ cup frozen peas (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the vegetables soften. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the freshly grated ginger and turmeric, cooking for about 30 seconds to release the flavors.
  3. Add the chicken broth, chicken breast (or thighs), rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Stir in the pearl couscous, ensuring the chicken is fully covered by the broth. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
  5. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot. Add the frozen peas and cook until heated through.
  6. If needed, adjust the soup’s consistency by adding more broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Enjoy your delicious and nourishing chicken soup!
