Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon sliced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • cup cabbage
  • ½ cup carrots
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 1 cup coriander (cilantro) stems
  • cup vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add 8 cups of water, chicken breast, ginger, and garlic to a large pot and boil for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove and shred the chicken, then strain broth and set aside.
  • Heat oil in the same pot. Add chopped cabbage, carrots, onion, serrano, and coriander stems and sauté over medium-high heat.
  • Return the chicken and broth to the pot, along with vegetable broth, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve.

Notes

  • If you prefer your soup a little thicker, you can create a slurry by whisking ¼ cup water with 1 tablespoon cornflour together, and then slowly stirring it into the soup.
  • To make this recipe vegan, you can either omit the chicken or substitute it with tofu or your preferred vegan protein.
  • This chicken lemon coriander soup tastes best when served fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To make your soup even more flavorful, you can add in additional fresh coriander leaves or finely chopped garlic.
