What you need to make anti-inflammatory chicken ginger soup + substitutions:
- Rotisserie chicken- Sometimes a rotisserie chicken makes dinner or recipes way easier. We pulled apart a flavorful herb roasted chicken but any cooked and shredded chicken would work here.
- Chicken bone broth- We used our homemade chicken broth for this one, but you can use chicken stock or bone broth. We recommend a high quality bone broth like Kettle & Fire (code DADDIOSKITCHEN for 20% off) for this soup.
- Yellow onion- Yellow onions add so much flavor to soups and are better for cooking.
- Leek- Leeks add so much nourishing flavor to soups and have so many health benefits. Be sure to wash throughly beforehand.
- Carrots- Carrots add a nice sweetness to soups and compliment the broth well.
- Celery- Chopped celery is another essential vegetable for this recipe.
- Grass-fed butter- We prefer to use grass-fed butter whenever we can and this soup is no exception in keeping the immunity property benefits. Salted or unsalted works great. We love Kerrygold or the Kirkland grass-fed butter.
- Ginger- The ginger is essential duo with the turmeric to maintain the immunity based properties.
- Lemongrass- An aromatic herb, with it’s citrusy and earthy essence compliments the soup well.
- Garlic- Garlic is ideal in basically every savory recipe. You can substitute with 1 tsp garlic powder if needed. It also adds such great immune-boosting benefits.
- Ground turmeric- Aids in the anti inflammatory benefits as well as providing robust flavor.
- Lemon- Elevates any dish with a zesty burst of bright flavors and delightful freshness.
- Sea salt & pepper- Our favorite sea salt is this one, and we buy it in bulk. You can use the code daddioskitchen for 15% off.

Hi Lisa! Great question, we haven’t tested that idea ourselves. I think you could try leaving it in the fridge prior and it should work okay!
