When I browse for new recipes, I look for my family’s favorite ingredients because it makes it more likely that they’ll try (and like) the new meal.
This chicken soup with ginger from Hands-Off Cooking had some of their favorites, like chicken and potatoes. But it also had a twist–shiitake mushrooms, which they’d never tried before–and lime juice.
This soup is absolutely delicious! I love how all the healthy ingredients blend into such a flavorful broth, and it was deemed a hit by all five of us. It’s been in our meal plan rotation ever since.
Is this soup gluten free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as long as your chicken broth is safe for you to enjoy. I use Better Than Bouillon, the reduced sodium version.
Is this an easy soup recipe?
It sure is! The prep time is quick, just chopping up the vegetables and ginger, and dicing the chicken. Then, you dump it all in one pot and let it go. Easy peasy!
We had this on a rainy day, and it really hit the spot. It’s very different from my standard chicken soup, but it’s just as soothing.
