🍗 Delia Chicken Soup Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

🥣 How To Make Delia Chicken Soup

1. Add the oil to a large Dutch oven or pot and set it over medium-high heat.
2. Toss in the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery when the oil is heated; sauté for a couple of minutes, or until the onion turns translucent.
3. Gradually stir in the grated turmeric and ginger. Add chicken stock, chicken breast, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper after sautéing for 30 seconds to allow the spices to simmer a bit.
4. Add the couscous to the boiling broth. Be careful to stir the chicken to the bottom of the pot so that the broth covers them.
5. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
6. Take the cooked chicken out of the pan using a slotted spoon and set it aside to shred with two forks on a chopping board.
7. Return the chicken to the pot and mix in the frozen peas. Just add another cup of broth if you think you’ll need more. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed. Enjoy.
