Ingredients

1 tablespoon cooking oil Olive oil or vegetable oil
2 onions finely diced
3 garlic cloves crushed
20 g root ginger finely diced or grated
2 sticks of celery finely diced
1 potato peeled and cubed
100 g cauliflower cut into florets
500 ml chicken bone broth I used the Freja brand. Use stock if you don't have bone broth
500 ml water or extra bone broth
1 chicken breast

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring up to the boil then lower to a simmer. Put the lid on and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
Use a stick blender if you have one and blend the soup till smooth.
Return the chicken to the soup and serve. I like to top it with croutons or serve it with toast or bread.
