Hearty Chicken and Cauliflower Soup


They say a picture speaks a thousand words - then this picture says "eat me, you won't regret it!"


Trying to stay warm while it's -10 in NYC, so I thought of two things, other than a wine jacket and cozy blanket. Warm spices like cayenne pepper and curry, and a hot soup. Put those together and you've got a bangin' hearty soup that'll warm you right up!

Such a simple recipe and ready in less than 45! This soup can be easily frozen which is perfect for meal prepping or a quick dinner when you don't have time to make something else.


Bon appétit and happy cooking!

Prep Time: 25 min. Cook Time: 25 min. Total Time: 50 min

Yield: serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (with salt if using mortar and pestle)

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

  • 3 large carrots, diced

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice

  • 1.5 quarts (6 cups) chicken broth

  • 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

  • 3 cups kale, packed

  • 4 chicken breasts, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons curry (save 1/2 for the end)

  • 1 tsp ginger

  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp turmeric

Instructions:

  1. Sauté onions and minced garlic in coconut oil over medium heat, until onions are browned.

  2. Add cauliflower rice and carrots to pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes. The veggies should be charred a bit.

  3. Add chicken broth and cover so that the soup can get to a slow simmer.

  4. While soup is simmering, start preparing chicken. Mix cubed chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, curry, ginger, cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge for 5 minutes.

  5. In a separate pan, add marinated chicken over medium heat. Cook thoroughly (about 7 minutes) and add to the simmering soup once cooked.

  6. Bring soup to a boil again and you know that it's done. Serve immediate, or store in the fridge for 3 days. This soup can also be frozen in separate containers, which is great for meal prepping.
