Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 carrot peeled and diced
  • 1 small potato peeled and diced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
  2. Add the diced carrot and potato to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the grated ginger and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked until very tender to make digestion easier.
  • You can adjust the amount of ginger according to your preference and tolerance.
  • If using an immersion blender is not possible, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches to puree.
