Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts into a large pot on medium-high heat with a dash of olive oil. Then sprinkle on the portions of garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken powder. Leave to sit for a few minutes each side to brown, does not have to be fully cooked.
  • While the chicken is browning, finely dice your onion.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. Use a splash of broth to deglaze the pot. Then place the onion into the deglazed pot.
  • While the onion is starting to soften, prepare the leek and carrot. Dice the carrot into small pieces, and slice the leek relatively thin.
  • Add the leek and carrot to the onion, let these saute for a few minutes to soften.
  • Season with turmeric and the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken powder. Sprinkle in a dash of salt as well.
  • Place the chicken breasts back into the pot, along with any juices. Then pour in the chicken stock.
  • Leave to simmer for about 1 hour.
  • After the golden chicken soup has been simmering for 1 hour, remove the breasts from the pot. Use 2 forks to shred the chicken breasts. Then place back into the broth.
  • Pour in the coconut cream and lemon juice. Stir and leave to simmer for a further 10 minutes. Serve with rice and enjoy!
