Chicken Detox Soup Recipe + Video
Description
This soup starts by sautéing onion, celery, ginger, and garlic in olive oil to develop aromatic depth. Raw chicken breasts are added with chicken broth, carrots, apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper, turmeric, and salt, then simmered until cooked. The chicken is then removed, shredded, and returned to the pot after adding broccoli, peas, and parsley to cook until tender.
The broth offers a delicate balance of savory chicken flavor, with subtle heat from crushed red pepper and brightness from apple cider vinegar. Turmeric and ginger contribute earthy, slightly warm notes along with a mild spiciness. The vegetables provide textural contrast, with broccoli and peas adding freshness and carrots sweetness. Shredded chicken pieces disperse evenly, making the soup hearty yet light.
This soup is well-suited for those seeking comforting but lighter fare. It can be served alone or alongside simple bread. Its blend of vegetables and chicken also makes it a practical option for steady nourishment during recovery or as a mild, refreshing meal option.
Using fresh, organic ingredients as suggested in the notes may enhance flavors and nutritional value. The soup reheats well, maintaining tender chicken and vegetables without losing its delicate broth clarity.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless

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.
