Aromatic Chicken and Ginger Soup with Carla Lalli Music

Ginger and spice and everything nice! No it's not a spiced pumpkin latte, it's a nourishing, warming, and delicious-smelling soup that will heal you if you're sick and fortify you for ongoing health regardless. The chicken poaches in the broth, which then becomes the base for the finished soup. It's silky with coconut milk and golden from turmeric, and you want it in your life.

This soup is flavored in part by
star anise and black pepper and
served with rice noodles, all of
which are commonly found in
Vietnamese pho recipes, along
with coconut milk and turmeric,
which are not. If you want to play
around with the aromatic base,
try browning the shallot, garlic,
ginger, turmeric, dried chiles, star
anise, and lemongrass in a little
bit of vegetable or coconut oil before adding water to
the stockpo. This will lend the
broth a sweeter, deeper taste and
dark golden color.

This recipe is from my book, That Sounds So Good!

Are you soulless or a soul seeker? All souls are welcome here!

Wasn’t feeling good today. Watched this during lunch and immediately texted my boss to ask to go home sick but instead went right to the grocery store for a chicken. 5 hours later I am happily slurping my healing delicious soup ❤

I’m lying in bed with a really nasty cold and I feel 😣😣😣. Honestly I would sell my soul for a bowl of this deliciousness right now 🙏

I want ginger in everything. i love it sweet and cooked out, i love it raw and spicy. cant go wrong

[DuyNguyen-yxvd]

Carla going through the ingredients and i'm like "Oh, these are familiar. It's just like..." and then the popup mentions Pho and I had a good laugh in my chair. My local international grocery store has these "Pho kits" that has all those aromatics in a giant tea bag. It's super convenient.

I get so excited every time I see a new video come out; your videos are so fun and make me feel like I'm in the kitchen with my sister.

Carla: “chicken soup for the soul-less…”
Me: Carla did not have to come for me like that 😂

[cptntwinkletoes]

All the little cheeky jokes you make is exactly what it's like being in the kitchen with me and my husband, it always makes me giggle.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who spills soup all over when attempting to strain it! Keep it real Carla!
