Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 2 cups cooked rice or noodles (optional)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, and turmeric, cooking for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring the broth to a simmer.
Add the carrots, celery, and the seared chicken thighs back into the pot. Cover the pot partially and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
If using rice or noodles, stir them into the soup and let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
