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!

I’ve been making this soup for years. Love it! Sometimes I add 1 extra cup of broth and 1/2 cup orzo in the last 10 min of cooking, just to bulk it up.
