Golden Coconut Chicken Soup with Spiced Pitas.
[This post is sponsored by McCormick. Thank you so much for reading how sweet eats and supporting the site! Xoxo]
Hellllllo soup season.
‘Tis the season for creamy, dreamy soup!
Is this not the most gorgeous color you’ve ever seen?! It looks like a warm, cuddly bowl that I want to swan dive in to. I just might do it.
THE COLOR!! I love it so much. It’s from the pretty ground turmeric in the recipe – I’m partnering with McCormick to develop some delicious ground turmeric recipes using this fantastic spice. My hands still might be orange but it’s cool.
One of the biggest food trends in 2016 has been the use of turmeric, and can we just feign a bit of shock that I’m jumping on board 10 months later? Not only am I always late to the style game, but I’m just dyyyying to fit in. This time, I’m here! I’m showing up! I’m in time. Maybe?
My first-born-child, people-pleasing self just wants to be cool. Have you tried it yet? Give me your best recipes!
So.
I’m throwing turmeric in your soup and making it the prettiest shade of gold. This is ridiculously comforting and smooth and rich. It’s going to melt into your soul as the air chills down and we approach November.
I’ve been incorporating turmeric into a few of my daily recipes for the potential health benefits alone, even if it is turning my poor counter top neon yellowish orange too. The cucurmin in turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, so I figure – why not! It started with smoothies a few months ago. Bright orange and yellow ones that I would call sunshine smoothies because Max thought it was hilarious.
But I realllly fell in love with it after trying Tracy’s turmeric hot toddy. Um – you actually make turmeric HONEY for that recipe and I want to slather it on everything and melt it into every warm winter drink I consume. Then I tried her turmeric latte which I loved even more, considering I could acceptably drink it in the morning and not have to receive inappropriate stares for preparing a hot toddy at 8:30 am.
(Hi it was the holidays it’s fiiiiine.)
I’ve stirred a leeettle bit into yogurt (for a dip!) and I’ve tried to get Eddie to drink it in hot water (spoiler alert: he wasn’t into that at ALL), but wanted to make a delicious meal that would highlight this ingredient that I’m so obsessed with at the moment.
Enter: chicken soup with a coconut twist.
It’s no secret that I completely live for all things coconut milk. I wanted to delete the curry from this shrimp noodle recipe and let the turmeric stand alone, and that it did! Combined with the sliced mushrooms and peppers and tons of cilantro on top (don’t be a hater, swap it for oregano!), it’s perfection.
Well, almost perfection. The perfection comes after a little lime spritz! And a big dip of the crunchy spiced pitas. I’m suuuuper into it.

Love turmeric! And such a beautiful colour as well :)
Turmeric is supposed to be very helpful in fighting inflammation so I’ve taken to using it whenever I can! Turmeric tea/golden milk is one of my favorite things when I am feeling a little under the weather or run down. Lately I really like making a rub for chicken that incorporates turmeric, black pepper, and garlic, and then throwing that golden chicken on the grill or searing in a cast iron skillet. When I make mayo for curry chicken salad, I add a pinch of turmeric which gives it a little extra punch and that gorgeous golden color. Toss some fresh turmeric in the juicer with some ginger, carrots, and half an apple. DREAMY. LONG LIVE TUMERIC!
At what point do you add the stock? Don’t see it in the recipe, but it’s in the ingredients list. Sounds so delish! Can’t wait to make this.
Simply, YUM. Jon and I would flip for this. I’ve made a soup similar (though not as pretty), but never tried the fancy spiced pitas! Thanks for sharing!
I’m using it now and it’s awesome! I’ve signed up for my account and have been bringing in fat paychecks. For real, my first week I made $302 and the second week I doubled it and then it kinda snowballed to $120 a day! juet folllow the course..

As soon as the weather starts cooling down (I’m in Las Vegas soooo it’ll probably be a few more weeks) I’m making this! I’m Indian, and turmeric is used in SO many of our dishes, I grew up eating it in almost all my mom’s cooking. Seriously can’t wait to try this! Also, I made your zucchini bread coffee cake on Thursday night and oh my goodness it was unreal. Just had a tiny piece right now as a snack.
