SUPERFOOD CHICKEN SOUP
ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 30 min l SERVES: 4
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large turnip (about 10 ounces), peeled and cut into
½-inch cubes
2 cups shredded kale or other winter greens
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
(skin removed)
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Whole-wheat naan, warmed, for serving
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Stir in the ginger and garlic; cook until the ginger softens and
the garlic just starts browning, about 3 minutes. Add the turnip
and kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted,
about 4 minutes.
- Add the turmeric and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper; stir
until the vegetables are coated. Add the chicken broth and 3 cups
water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook
until the turnip is just tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas and chicken to the pot. Increase the heat
to medium high and return the soup to a simmer. Cook until the
chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt,
pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with naan.

CAULIFLOWER STIR-FRY
WITH TOASTED PEANUTS
ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 30 min l SERVES: 4
1 cup jasmine rice
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
¼ cup salted roasted peanuts
1 cup snow peas (about 4 ounces), trimmed
1 yellow bell pepper, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
3 scallions (white parts sliced, green parts cut into

⅓ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1½ teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce

- Preheat the broiler. Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile,
toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and a
generous pinch each of salt and pepper; spread on a rimmed
baking sheet. Broil, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred
and tender, about 10 minutes.

skillet over high heat. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring, until
lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Remove to a small bowl with a
slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the scallions (white and green parts) and cauliflower;
toss. Add the chili sauce and soy sauce and continue to cook,
stirring often, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes.
