Method
Sauté Aromatics
- 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.
Build Flavor
- Stir in the optional ginger paste, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, allowing the spices to bloom and the aromatics to deepen in flavor.
Add Liquids and Chicken
- Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the cut chicken pieces and sliced carrots. Stir everything together.
Simmer
- 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
- Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted into the soup.
Final Touches
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
