Method
 

Sauté Aromatics
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced fresh garlic and fresh ginger, along with the finely diced sweet onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Add Liquids and Chicken

Simmer
  1. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a richer flavor. The chicken should be cooked through and tender.
Wilt Spinach
