Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep Chicken: Cook chicken breast in salted water over medium heat for about 15 minutes until no longer pink. Shred and set aside.
  2. Chop Vegetables: Chop onion, garlic, cauliflower, carrot, and ginger into small pieces for even cooking.
  3. Sauté: Heat olive oil in a large pot, add onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Stir in turmeric and black pepper for another minute.
  4. Cook Cauliflower: Add cauliflower florets and chicken broth, cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  5. Incorporate Other Veggies: Add diced carrots, fresh ginger, and optional mint. Cook uncovered for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Blend: Use a hand blender to puree the soup halfway for a creamy yet chunky texture.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Stir in shredded chicken and any remaining broth, simmer for an additional 5-6 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
