Ingredients

  • Finely chop a crisp Granny Smith apple,
  • Finely chop a petite onion for added flavor,
  • Finely chop two tender stalks of celery,
  • Finely chop a vibrant carrot for color,
  • Finely chop a zesty jalapeno pepper, adjust to your preference,
  • Mince three tablespoons of fresh ginger for a kick,
  • Sprinkle two tablespoons of aromatic curry powder,
  • Mince three cloves of garlic for depth,
  • Add half a teaspoon of garam masala for a hint of spice,
  • Include half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes for heat,
  • Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil for richness,
  • Pour in four cups of wholesome chicken broth,
  • Add one cup of diced and deseeded tomatoes,
  • Place two skinless, boneless chicken breast halves,
  • Pour a can of creamy coconut milk,
  • Mix in two cups of delicate fresh spinach leaves,
  • Sprinkle a quarter cup of fragrant cilantro to taste,
  • Serve over three cups of fluffy jasmine rice,
  • Garnish with wedges of a fresh lime for a zesty finish.

Step 1

In a large stockpot placed over medium-high heat, combine a medley of diced apples, onions, celery, carrots, jalapenos, fresh ginger, a blend of curry powder, garlic, garam masala, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle some olive oil and sauté until the ingredients start to soften, for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, pour in chicken broth and crushed tomatoes into the aromatic mixture. Allow the pot to come to a vigorous boil before reducing the heat to a gentle simmer. Gently add chicken breasts into the pot, cover, and let it cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through but still tender, approximately 15 minutes.

Step 3

Once the chicken is ready, shred it directly in the pot. Introduce a velvety touch by stirring in creamy coconut milk and a handful of fresh spinach. Remember to remove the pot from the heat as soon as the spinach just begins to wilt, which should take around 1 minute. Finally, garnish the soup with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 4

To serve, place a generous 1/2 cup portion of cooked rice into each serving bowl. Ladle the aromatic soup over the rice and present each bowl with a lime wedge on the side for a zesty squeeze over the soup.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your spices in airtight containers to maintain their potency and flavor. Store them in a cool, dark place to prevent spoilage.
  2. 2. Use glass jars or reusable containers to store your homemade chicken broth. This will keep it fresh for longer and prevent any leaks or spills in your fridge.
  3. 3. Organize your pantry shelves by category - keep all your canned goods together, grains in one section, and spices in another. This will make it easier to find what you need when cooking.
