A vibrant chicken soup brightened up with a fresh basil pistou!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 leek sliced (or 1/2 medium onion, peeled and diced)
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 2 inch ginger thumb sized grated, piece
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 2 cups carrot thinly sliced, rainbow
- chicken breast meat shredded, from a rotisserie chicken
- 32 ounce chicken broth carton, Swanson brand
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or cayenne powder, to taste
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
pistou (optional)
- 1 basil fresh, packed cup
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic peeled, clove
- 1 tsp lemon juice more to taste
- pinch salt
- 1 Tbsp thyme fresh leaves
Instructions
- To make the pistou, put all the ingredients into a small food processor and process until smooth. Taste to adjust any of the seasonings. To make a thinner sauce, add more oil.
- For the soup, add the olive oil to a pan and saute the leeks and garlic for several minutes to soften the leeks.
- Add the ginger, turmeric,carrots, chicken, and chicken broth and bring up to a simmer. Cook the soup just long enough for the carrots to tenderize, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the baby spinach leaves and let the heat of the soup wilt them. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves at the very end.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of pistou in the center.
