Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Warm the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Cook the onion, garlic, and ginger for 5–6 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and red pepper flakes for 1 minute, until the spices smell warm. Add the chopped carrots and celery and cook 3–4 minutes, just until their edges begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken breast and broth. Bring the pot to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 25–30 minutes. The chicken should reach 165°F and the vegetables should be tender when pierced.

  4. 4

    Move the chicken to a plate and shred it with two forks after a 5-minute rest. Return it to the pot, stir in the coconut milk, and warm over low heat for 3–4 minutes. Do not let the soup boil hard.

  5. 5

    Taste for salt. Ladle the soup over cooked jasmine rice and finish each bowl with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
