Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

You can substitute quinoa for rice or use kale instead of spinach for a different twist. Adjust the spices to your taste preference.
