I am really excited to be sharing this Cream Turmeric Chicken Stew recipe over on Empowered Sustenance. I have been following Lauren for years so it is quite an honor to be guest posting today.
A quick introduction before I tell you about the recipe. My name is Jessi and I run a food and lifestyle blog called Jessi’s Kitchen. I started it a few years ago after some health issues and discovering that I needed to drastically change the way I was eating. Cooking has always been very therapeutic to me so the blog really became a healing and creative outlet for me.
Okay, enough about me! Let’s talk about this chicken stew recipe. We are starting to get glimpses of cooler weather here in Tennessee and it is getting me really excited for fall. During the colder months we basically live on soups and stews. They are healthy, satisfying and also great for meal prep.
I make a lot of beef stews but decided that it would be fun to create a hearty and nourishing paleo chicken stew. This soup is actually incredibly easy and packed full of vegetables and anti-inflammatory spices. It really makes for a perfect healthy, weeknight meal.
This stew can be served over some cauliflower rice for some extra vegetables and flavor or eaten as is. Feel free to get creative and add some of your favorite vegetables!

Loved this soup. Happened to have everything on hand except the parsnips so I used some butternut squash. Made it while I waited for Irma to reach north eastern Florida. I love all the dessert recipes, but it was so nice to have a wonderful soup recipe.

This sounds awesome! I’ve been cooking shredded chicken in the crockpot for awhile now. Makes it so easy to throw delicious meals together. I’ve used it to make a dairy free buffalo chicken dip. While the chicken is still warm, I add some Kite Hill Farms cream cheese (made from almond milk) and Frank’s Red Hot. Sooooo delicious!

Hey, I know it has nothing to do with this post, but once you posted about washing your face with honey, and I wanted to ask if I can wash with honey that is not raw? (Write on the box that it is Pure natural honey bees 100% pure). Will it do anything? Or is it better to wash with regular soap, or just water?

Could you throw all of these ingredients into the crock-pot with some raw chicken breasts, and then just shred the chicken when done?

This was excellent! Made it tonight for my hubby and I. It was perfect as is. But next time I must remember to get thicker coconut milk/cream. So good!

Do you know the calorie count per serving? I made this last night dinner and it was one of the most delicious soups I’d ever eaten!!!!

This is my new favorite soup! I am curious if the chicken can be substituted with legumes for a vegan version.
