Equipment

  • Soup pot
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Stirring spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 zucchinis diced
  • 1 butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Saute The Chicken: Heat olive oil in your soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
  • Aromatics And Veggies: In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Toss in the carrots, zucchini, and butternut squash, cooking until the veggies start to soften.
  • Combine And Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the flavors meld together and the veggies are tender.
  • Serve And Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, and get ready to experience a taste of paradise. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for that extra flavor.

Notes

Cooking Soup Tips

Flavor Boost: Enhance the soup’s depth by sauteing the chicken until golden brown before adding it to the pot.
Aromatic Base: Let the onion, garlic, and ginger trio work their magic, and saute them until fragrant to infuse the soup with rich flavors.
Veggie Bliss: Balance the sweetness of butternut squash with the savory goodness of carrots and zucchini for a well-rounded texture.
Coconut Creaminess: Use full-fat coconut milk for a velvety, luxurious consistency that perfectly complements the hearty ingredients.
Simmer Slow: Allow the soup to simmer on low heat to let the flavors meld, resulting in a harmonious and comforting dish.
Garnish Grace: Elevate each serving with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a burst of brightness.
