Golden Turmeric Chickpea Chicken Soup

Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add in garlic, ginger, jalapenos and chicken breast. Brown chicken for 3-4 minutes, then stir in onion, red pepper and sweet potato cubes.

Step 2

Cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally until sweet potatoes begin to slightly soften and chicken is no longer pink; this should take no longer than 5-7 minutes. Add in turmeric; stirring to coat the chicken and veggies.

Step 3

Next add in the following: chicken broth, chickpeas, peanut butter, coconut milk, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. If you want more heat, add in a few dashes of hot sauce.

Step 5

Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro and green onions. Serves 4.
