Thai Ginger Turmeric Kale Chicken Soup
This bowl of soup is super cozy and healing too. It’s the kind of soup that will cure whatever sickness you’ve got. I’ve had a tickle in my throat the past few days and it’s been SO bitter cold here. I’m a warm weather girl through and through, so winter is always rough for me. It’s things like this soup that make it a million times better!

Sometimes I do want a cozy comfort food soup/stew with all the carbs and cheese, but most times I just want something healthy that will make me feel amazing. This soup does just that. It’s fillllled to the brim with veggies, kale, chicken, and lots of spices. It’s crazy flavorful but super duper healthy. My favorite kind of meal.

The other thing I love about it is that it is incredibly easy. I’m not just saying that. It’s SO easy. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shredded it, which is a huge time saver. Then all you have to do is sauté the veggies and add the broth and chicken and simmer it for ten minutes or so!

And I think it gets better and better every day, like most soups/sauces do. The best!

The garlic, turmeric, and ginger all have amazing anti-inflammatory properties so this soup is pretty much a bowl of health. Especially with the veggies and kale. You’d never guess based on how yummy it is!

    Ok we are officially obsessed with this soup. It’s incredible and will be on a weekly rotation in our home. Do you have an estimate on calories per serving?

      Thank you so much Angela!! That makes me so happy 🙂 It’s a favorite of ours for sure! I don’t unfortunately, but it’s pretty low cal. If I had to guess, I’d say 200 or less. There are a bunch of free nutrition calculators online if you want to try plugging in the ingredients there!

        Thank you! We were guessing it was under 300 calories! I guess having two bowls for dinner is acceptable 🙂

    Delivers on ‘refreshing’! I had to leave out peppers for dietary restrictions ( very recent phenomenon), but found the recipe (without peppers) hit the spot. Thanks for sharing!

      It keeps in the fridge for 4-5 days, but I will say the greens darken because of the lime juice. Still tastes great, just not as pretty! Let me know if you try it out 🙂

      Hi Taylor! You can, but the greens might get dark and not so pretty, but it’ll still taste good! It should keep well in the freezer for 2-3 months. Let me know if you try it!

      I’m sorry to hear that Claudia! Depending on what brand of chicken broth I use, sometimes I have to season it with quite a bit of salt to bring out all of the flavors!

    Amazing! My favorite cold season soup! I add about half the lime juice and cilantro when it cooks and then half before serving. If I’m going to freeze it, I hold on the kale until I’m ready to serve. So good! Trader Joe’s has a chili onion mix that gives it more kick if needed! Thank you for sharing.
