This immune-boosting chicken soup has got everyone talking – and salivating!
As with all Eat Burn Sleep anti-inflammatory recipes, each ingredient is carefully selected for taste and healing properties.
The secret lies in the synergistic actions of the chicken, ginger, turmeric, onions, garlic, parsley, black pepper, eggs, and lemons. They work together to support your immune defenses, help fight infections, and support healing and recovery.
Flavor, mouthfeel, color, anti-inflammatory actions – this is another EBS mind and body powerhouse recipe!

Ingredients
- 4 chicken legs
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 celery sticks
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger
- 1 inch piece of turmeric root
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 34fl oz or 1L of water
- 3 egg yolks
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Optional: fresh curly parsley to garnish
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a pot and brown the chopped onion for 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir for another minute.
Add the chicken legs and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, grated ginger, and grated turmeric roots (you do not need to remove the skin). Add the salt and pepper, cover with water. Bring to the boil and lower the heat. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
Before serving, heat the soup up. Whisk the 3 egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Using a ladle, add some of the soup liquid into the bowl and mix quickly, allowing the eggs not to curdle.
Pour the mix into the pot and stir well.
Remove the chicken and using two forks, pull the meat from the bone and shred it slightly. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir in.
Your soup is ready to serve!
Serving Tips
You can garnish with some fresh curly parsley.
Look at that color! Enjoy every mouthful!
Storage Tips
The soup keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat it in a saucepan over medium heat for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
