    A healthy and healing chicken soup that is just as tasty if you are not laid up with a cold!

    Chicken turmeric

    The Chief Taster has been laid up with a dreadful cold which is no surprise since he travels a lot in his current job and airports are just carriers of germs. (I call him "Geoffrey" but since he does not watch the Bare-Foot Contessa he has no idea what I am talking about.  I call myself the flip-flop Contessa though..).   So I went into "mother-hen mode" and made him a healthy and healing soup.

    THE INGREDIENTS

    I thought that I would put together ingredients that would help his sinuses and make him feel better.  I chose chicken because of its famed abilities to help a cold.  Turmeric because of it's powerful anti-inflammatory properties, garlic for its antiviral effects, ginger to help the swelling of the sinuses and coconut milk because it contains fibre and lauric acid, which has been found to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties too.

    If you want to boost the nutritional value of this soup we would suggest that you use a homemade chicken bouillon powder. It's easy to make and great to have to hand during soup seasoning or when you are making a sauce for a chicken recipe.

    Chicken turmeric

    Although I could not taste this (I am a vegetarian) he declared this tasty despite his taste buds being numbed by his runny nose.  The next day he was a bit better and could taste the flavours.  He enjoyed it and will be eating it until I deem him better!  I used chicken breasts because he is very fussy, but you could use legs or other parts of the chicken *shudders*.  I used raw chicken but you could use cooked shredded chicken to speed up the soup time.  I now need to work on a vegetarian version of this just in case his cold has spread!

      I made this tonight. I thought using the immersion blender on all ingredients but the chicken would be good. It turned out fine however it was so thin I felt it needed some kind of thickener next time.

      This was quick and easy to make. I used leftover lemon chicken. It was delicious and very satisfying. It was even better the next day.

      This is divine - tasty, healthy and filling. Love it! Also - you don't mention but I purée it at the end. Just need to be aware that the turmeric will stain your white blender blade parts ...

        Glad you enjoyed it Mary! Perhaps use baking soda on your blender parts? It's a wonderful cleaner. Thanks for popping by!
