Equipment
- Microplane
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Yellow Onion diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger grated
- 2 Teaspoons Ground Turmeric
- 3 Carrots sliced
- 3 Stalks Celery sliced
- 6 Cups Chicken Bone Broth or chicken broth
- 1.5 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Cu Dry Small Pasta pastina, orzo, etc
- 3 Cups Fresh Baby Spinach
- 2 Lemons juiced
- ¼ Cup Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it softens, about 4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant, before stirring in the ground turmeric.
- Next, add the sliced carrots, celery, and bone broth to the pot. Nestle in the chicken thighs, then season with the salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. This part is completely hands-off, so use the time to chop your parsley and juice your lemons.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred it into bite-size pieces, then set it aside.
- With the broth still simmering, add the dry pasta directly to the pot and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the shredded chicken back in, then add the baby spinach and stir until it just wilts. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
