This Gentle Ginger Chicken Soup is a soothing, stomach-friendly recipe designed for those with gastroparesis. It features tender chicken, smooth pureed vegetables, and a hint of ginger to aid digestion, making it perfect for anyone seeking a delicious, easy-to-digest meal.
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
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
- Add the diced carrot and potato to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the grated ginger and cook for another minute.
- 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.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- 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.
