Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 large carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 cup white rice
  • 2/3 cup frozen peas

Instructions
 

  • Put a big pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Pour in some oil. When the oil is hot, put in garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for a bit until the onion turns see-through.
  • After that, add in grated ginger and grated turmeric. Cook them for about 30 seconds, so they release their flavors. Then, pour in chicken broth, put in the shredded chicken, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the soup bubble up, and then add rice. Make sure the chicken is under the liquid by stirring it down.
  • Turn down the heat a bit and let the soup cook with a lid for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is completely cooked.
  • When the rice is done, mix in frozen peas. If you feel like there's not enough liquid, you can add another cup of broth. People like their soup different ways, so taste it and add more seasonings if you need to. Enjoy!
