Method:

1. In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric and pepper for 2–3 minutes.
2. Add the rice and stir to coat. Toast for 1–2 minutes. Don’t worry if the spices stick to the pan a little, they will loosen up in the next step.
3. Begin ladling in warm bone broth, stirring slowly and allowing each ladle to absorb before adding the next.
4. Halfway through (about 10 minutes), stir in zucchini, carrot and chicken.
5. Continue adding broth until rice is tender and creamy (20–25 minutes).
6. Stir in spinach, lemon juice, and season to taste.
7. Optional: Mix in nutritional yeast or cheese for added depth.
8. Let sit for 2 minutes off heat, then serve garnished with herbs.
