Why Use Mustard Oil?

Mustard oil is known for its pungent, robust flavor and numerous health benefits. It is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help lower cholesterol levels. The oil also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for cooking dishes that aim to support overall health. In this soup, mustard oil complements the aromatic ginger and garlic, enhancing the flavors of the ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mustard oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:

    • In a large pot, heat the mustard oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Add the diced chicken breast to the pot, cooking until it is lightly browned on all sides.

  3. Add Vegetables:

    • Stir in the carrots, celery, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

  4. Simmer the Soup:

    • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the broccoli florets and spinach leaves.
    • Season the soup with soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
