How to use turmeric in recipes

I love using turmeric in my recipes. This cold busting chicken soup recipe is full of nutrients and is a natural anti-inflammatory. Turmeric will stain your fingers, clothes, etc. I found that out when I made these turmeric chicken wings. They stained my baking sheet bright yellow!

Lately, with all of the sports injuries the guys in our family have had lately, we could really use any help we can get. My son is growing so fast, his ligaments aren’t keeping up with his bone growth and he is pulling a lot of muscles. His Achilles, IT band, elbows, and knees. He is starting to get frustrated because he can’t play sports a lot of the time. He starts another round of physical therapy, so I am hopeful he can get back to the thing he loves.

I love to make a big pot full of turmeric chicken soup during cold and flu season. This homemade turmeric soup freezes well too, so be prepared this winter!”

Since both of my kids love homemade chicken soup, I thought using turmeric would be a perfect solution to get some natural inflammatory ingredients into them.

Cooking with turmeric is easy. Here are two more delicious turmeric recipes to try: Turmeric Curry Lime Cauliflower or Turmeric Vinaigrette.

I really don’t know what I was thinking when I tossed random ingredients into the pot, but this turmeric chicken soup recipe turned out really, really good. Paleo, gluten-free, and dairy free. It has lots of turmeric chicken flavors. You can add rice or noodles, or just enjoy it without carbs.

Tumeric chicken soup recipe notes

The first thing you will notice is the almost “neon” yellow color of this gluten free chicken soup. My son almost wouldn’t eat it because of this. After a few minutes, I finally did convince him to give it a try. After two bowls, he declared this recipe a success:-).

Gluten Free Fontina Cheese Herb Scones are a delicious gluten free option to serve with the soup, especially if you love dipping bread into your soup.

Tools You Need To Make This Recipe:

1. A big soup pot. Go ahead and make big vats of soup so that I can freeze some for other meals.
2. Easy chicken shredder. I used to use two forks, but these make shredding meat so much faster and easier!
