1-Getting started with this healing chicken soup recipe is straightforward, beginning with preparing your ingredients for smooth cooking. Wash and chop the vegetables and dice the chicken to set yourself up for success. This step ensures everything moves quickly in the pot.

2-Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned, and remove them from the pot. Add the celery, carrots, and onion to the same pot without wiping it clean, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant, scraping up any chicken bits for extra flavor.

3-Return the chicken to the pot along with the rosemary, thyme, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric, salt, and pepper; stir and cook for another minute until everything smells amazing. Pour in the chicken broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, add the pasta and stir occasionally until it’s tender, then remove the chicken, shred it with forks, and put it back in the pot along with the fresh parsley before serving.

4-To make this recipe even easier, use a slow cooker by setting it to high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, adding pasta in the last 30 minutes. For an Instant Pot, cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a quick release. These methods are great for busy parents or working professionals looking to save time.
