The coconut milk brings the creamy and smooth texture to this soup, while the turmeric adds its signature yellow hue and a myriad of health benefits. You could substitute beef or pork for the chicken if you’d prefer, or use Butternut Squash for a hearty vegetarian alternative.

How To Make Coconut Turmeric Chicken Soup

1. Start by chopping the chicken breast into small pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot, add the onion and garlic. Saute until they soften and start to brown.
3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they turn white. It is important to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked to avoid foodborne illness.
4. Add the coconut milk, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the pot. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the soup thickens and the flavors meld together.
5. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot. Enjoy!
