No matter the time of year, who can resist a fragrant pot of comforting chicken soup?  This Thai-inspired chicken soup comes together in no time, and is incredibly satisfying.  Shredded chicken thighs are combined with a chicken broth-based soup that is flavored with coconut milk, lime juice and fragrant ground turmeric. The turmeric gives a healthy boost of antioxidants to the soup, and also a rich yellow hue which I love.  Fresh basil, garlic and onions are also in the mix along with buttery chickpeas for an added protein-boost.  Feel free to add in some fresh spinach or watercress like I did; I also recommend some matchstick carrots, as well as a garnish of Sriracha sauce for a kick.
