Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast bonesless & skinless
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 1/2 cups carrots
  • 2 cups celery
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 1 large onion
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 1 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 qt chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Set a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, chopped onions, celery, ginger, and garlic. Saute for 5-6 minutes to soften. Then add the raw chicken breasts, broth, carrots, apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper, turmeric and 1 teaspoon sea salt.
  • Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20+ minutes, until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Then remove the chicken with tongs and set them on a cutting board to cool.
  • Add the broccoli, peas, and parsley to the pot. Continue to simmer to soften the broccoli. Meanwhile, shred the chicken breasts with two forks, and stir it back into the soup. Once the broccoli is tender, taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
