Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4-6 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 small onion - finely chopped
  • 3 medium diced carrots should equal about 1 ¼ cup
  • 3 stalks celery - finely chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
  • zest from ½ lemon
  • juice from ½-1 lemon I used a full lemon, if you are sensitive to lemon flavor use ½ lmeon
  • 2-3 teaspoons salt I used 2 teaspoons but adjust to your saltiness preference
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ground ginger
  • 1-1.25 lb skinless + boneless chicken breast 2-3 breasts depending on size. I recommend pasture raised.
  • 6 cups bone broth or chicken broth
  • 1-2 cups water - adjust to how thick you want the soup*
  • ~6-7 ounce cooked pasta (make sure it is cooked in heavily salted water) I used half of a 13.5 oz bag

Other optional toppings

Instructions
 

  • Heat butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, then add garlic, turmeric, ginger, and thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the pasta (including the raw chicken). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20–30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a bowl. If you’re unsure whether the chicken is fully cooked, check with a thermometer — it should read 165°F. Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer. A stand mixer also works well.
  • Turn off the heat. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the cooked pasta.
  • Stir, divide into bowls, and serve warm. I topped mine with some shaved parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, but this is optional.

Notes

Depending on how big of a bowl you have this can make anywhere from 5-8 servings.
*If you want to use all broth you can do this too, I subbed in some water as I was using bone broth and wanted to save some money.
