BENEFITS OF TURMERIC

The turmeric in this recipe creates a vibrant color to the soup. It’s hands down one of my favorite spices to cook with these days. The proven health benefits are a great reason to use the spice, but I also love the punch of flavor it provides.


I believe turmeric has super powers we are just beginning to understand in the United States. It has been used in India for thousands of years as a medicinal herb. Check out this article to learn more about all the health benefits turmeric provides.

    Well, I printed out the recipe but in the ingredients list there was no chicken broth listed. Also no instructions on when to add the chicken broth. Fortunately. I knew there wasn't enough liquid to make this recipe so I looked it up online again and got all I needed. Good recioe!

    Can you make in a slow cooker? I do not have an instant pot.

    • Yes, I prepared stove top, no instant pot, and didn't have time for a crock pot. If you start with a "cooked" chicken breast shredded with forks, all you are doing is heating up the ingredients. However it is best left overnight and consumed the next day. Which is what the instant pot does, speed up the process. Which is what a crock pot will do too if left to steep for hours. An instant pot is a modern day version of an old fashioned pressure cooker.
