INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
1 cup white onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced into matchsticks
2 inch piece of turmeric, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
2 lemongrass stalks, bruised
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh thyme
2 Tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
2 star anise pods
2 (32oz) boxes of chicken bone broth
3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1 cup quinoa, uncooked
1 tsp sea salt, more to taste
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper, more to taste
HOW TO MAKE
-In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat oil over medium heat.
-Add onion, celery, and carrots. Let it cook for 5 minutes, until onion is semi-translucent.
-Add garlic, and stir for 30 seconds so it doesn't burn.
-Add ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and star anise. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring periodically.
-Add bone broth, chicken, quinoa, salt, and pepper.
-Bring to a boil and reduce to low heat.
-Simmer on low heat for 1 hour, uncovered. Add more water if you want it soupier.
-Discard star anise pods, lemongrass, and any herb stems. Sometimes I leave these in, just don’t eat them.
-Ladle into bowls, and enjoy!
