Chicken soup gets more soothing with the addition of turmeric, ginger, and black pepper — a potent combo for arthritis pain. Garlic, onion, and spinach add more anti-inflammatory power.
- 1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1½ tbs. minced fresh turmeric
- 1½ tbs. minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 3 celery ribs, chopped
- 1½ lb. chicken breast, chopped
- 5 oz. spinach
STEP 1
Place a large pot over medium heat, then add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about five minutes.
STEP 2
Add the turmeric, ginger, and garlic and cook until very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
STEP 3
Add the salt, pepper, and bay leaves and stir, then pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
STEP 4
After 15 minutes, add the chopped carrots, celery, and chicken to the stock and simmer gently for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a simmer.
STEP 5
Take the pot off the heat, pluck out the bay leaves, and stir in the spinach. Serve hot.
