<\/p>\nChicken soup is good for the soul, and this healthy bowl of Turmeric Chicken Noodle Soup is a delicious, anti-inflammatory soup. It\u2019s loaded with vegetables, chicken, and rice\u00a0noodles.<\/p>\n
I had a stomach bug a few weeks ago, and this soup was exactly what I craved. Why is chicken noodle soup so good when you\u2019re sick? This one is made with healing anti-inflammatory ingredients that won\u2019t upset your stomach. I also have recipe for a more traditional chicken noodle soup. And for more turmeric chicken recipes, try this Turmeric Roasted Chicken and Sweet Potatoes and Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks.<\/p>\n
Turmeric Facts<\/h2>\n Is there anything turmeric can\u2019t do? This powerhouse spice has been shown to fight inflammation, prevent cancer, alleviate digestive complaints and depression,\u00a0and reduce the\u00a0risk of heart disease. Studies suggest that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, also eases the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It may also be helpful for some people with fibromyalgia, lupus, and even multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n
Can you add turmeric to chicken soup?<\/h2>\n Yes, turmeric is perfect in chicken soup. Not only does it add an earthy flavor, but it also makes the soup such a pretty golden color.<\/p>\n
Turmeric\u00a0Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients<\/h2>\n\nMirepoix:<\/strong> Green onions, carrots, celery<\/li>\nSalt and Pepper<\/strong> to season veggies<\/li>\nTomatoes:<\/strong> Grape or cherry tomatoes will work.<\/li>\nBroth<\/strong>: I like chicken bone broth for the extra nutrition, but regular broth is good too. You\u2019ll also need four cups of water and two bouillon cubes.<\/li>\nChicken:<\/strong> Buy chicken thighs or breasts.<\/li>\nSpices:<\/strong> Turmeric and freshly grated ginger<\/li>\nVegetables:<\/strong> Zucchini and broccoli get added towards the end.<\/li>\nNoodles:<\/strong> Find vermicelli rice noodles in the Asian section of your supermarket.<\/li>\nSpinach:<\/strong> The spinach goes in the soup bowls, and you pour the hot broth over it.<\/li>\nLemon:<\/strong> I like to squeeze fresh lemon juice over this healing chicken soup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Delicious and Healthy\u00a0Turmeric\u00a0Chicken Noodle Soup<\/h2>\n\nCook the Vegetables:<\/strong> Put the scallions, carrots, and celery seasoned with salt and pepper in a large pot on medium heat and saut\u00e9 for about five minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for three to four minutes.<\/li>\nBoil and Simmer:<\/strong> Increase the heat to high and pour in the broth, water, bouillon, chicken, turmeric, and ginger, and bring it to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer it on low for an hour until the chicken easily shreds and the veggies are tender.<\/li>\nAdd the zucchini and broccoli<\/strong> and cook for five minutes.<\/li>\nCook the noodles<\/strong> in a separate pot according to the package directions.<\/li>\nHow to Serve:<\/strong> Place a cup of spinach and some noodles in each bowl and top with two cups of soup.

You can store the spinach, noodles, and soup separately or together in one container. If you have leftovers, freeze it for up to 3 months.
