We make this ginger turmeric soup at least once a week in my house. My family loves it and I love the health benefits that it offers them! The key ingredient here is the cilantro – we add it to the soup and garnish each bowl with it.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger Root (minced)

• 1 tbsp Fresh Turmeric Root (minced)

• 3 Cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)

• 13.5 oz Full Fat Coconut Milk (unsweetened)

• 32 oz Bone Broth

• 1 Medium Thinly Sliced Red Onion

• 1 lb Cooked Boneless Chicken Thighs

• 1 Bunch Fresh Cilantro

• On-Hand Ingredients (These are ingredients that I don’t usually need to add to a grocery list but will still be used in this recipe)

• 2 tbsp Olive Oil

• To Taste Salt

Directions

• Start this soup by sautéing the fresh garlic, turmeric, ginger, and sliced onions with olive oil in a large pot until soft.
• Add in the coconut milk and let simmer until the solids turn into liquid.
• Add in the bone broth.
• Add the cooked chicken. You can shred it first or cut it into cubes for this soup.
• Lastly, add chopped cilantro and salt to taste. If desired, top with fresh cilantro and serve immediatly.

Notes

• I like to use leftover chicken for this recipe when I have it. You can cook the chicken however you prefer but this soup works especially well with baked or boiled chicken.
• Serve as-is for a keto friendly dinner option. If you want to add in a carb source, the broth of this soup pairs so well with fresh bread.
• Wild Rice or Orzo Pasta also goes well in this soup but will thicken it up significantly.
• You can sub the fresh ginger and fresh turmeric for powdered spices in you desire. Adjust the ginger amount to 1/4 tsp and turmeric amount to 1/2 tsp if you choose dry spices.

Ginger Soup Suggested Pairings

I love to serve this soup with fresh bread to add some carbs. I have also added orzo pasta and wild rice when I didn’t have bread on hand.

Leave out the bread or added carbs for a keto-friendly dinner. The coconut milk will provide the bulk of the calories to this meal and the dark meat chicken adds protein.
