“Mama, this is your best soup”, my daughter says. And I have to agree, since I created this soup, I’ve become obsessed.

I start with the best Ontario pasture-raised chicken to make an easy homemade chicken stock (you can use the best one you can find), then turn it into a delicious, aromatic broth with garlic, ginger, bay leaf, and turmeric. I cube the chicken rather than shredding it, then add chunks of fresh zucchini and chewy brown rice.

I like to add a drizzle of chili crisp for heat, a few tortilla chips for crunch, and cilantro for freshness. I hope you love it as much as I do.
