Notes

For the best flavor, make sure to use fresh ginger and high-quality turmeric powder. You can add more vegetables like spinach or kale for extra nutrition. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend part of it before adding the chicken back in. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and serve hot with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
