Optional Add-Ins:

1. Sauté Aromatics:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Build the Flavor Base:
   • Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender.
   • Sprinkle in the turmeric, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables and toast the spices for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add Broth and Chicken:
   • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
   • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Add Chicken and Greens (Optional):
   • Stir in the shredded chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
   • If using kale or spinach, add it in the last few minutes of cooking, just until wilted.
5. Season and Finish:
   • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional black pepper as needed.
   • For a bright finish, stir in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or squeeze fresh lemon juice over the soup just before serving.
