Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 head cauliflower (chopped into florets)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (sliced)
  • 2 ribs celery (chopped)
  • 2 cups kale (chopped)
  • 1 can white beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 5 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (microplaned or very finely minced)
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken thighs and cook in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pot and let cool before dicing.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed, then sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in carrots, celery, and cauliflower; sauté until softened.
  4. Simmer: Pour in chicken stock, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender. Blend half of the soup for creaminess.
  5. Finish the Soup: Return diced chicken to the pot along with kale and beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook until kale is wilted and flavors meld together.
