The Madras curry powder gives this curried chicken soup a bit of heat, but you can use a mild curry powder if you prefer.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, divided
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups chopped green cabbage
1 cup sliced carrots
6 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup frozen green peas
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions

Combine chicken thighs, curry powder and 1 tablespoon ginger in a medium bowl; rub the seasonings into the chicken. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and carrots; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, potatoes, salt and the seasoned chicken; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer; cover and cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken shreds easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board and, using 2 forks, shred it into bite-size pieces; return to the soup. Stir in peas and lemon juice. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
