Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup quinoa or brown rice, cooked
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften, then add chicken. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring so all sides of the chicken cook. Add the turmeric, mustard seed, cayenne, and salt, then pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for about half an hour. Add cooked quinoa or rice and top with chopped cilantro.
