Can I freeze this soup?

Absolutely, This turmeric chicken soup freezes like a dream. Just cool it completely first, then pack it into freezer-safe containers (leave about an inch of space at the top). It'll keep its magic for about 3 months. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove. The chicken stays tender and those warm spices hold up beautifully.

Is fresh turmeric better than powdered?

Ooh, good one Fresh turmeric does have a brighter, more complex flavor, but honestly, powdered works great too. If using fresh, grate about a 1-inch knob to replace the teaspoon of powder. Just be warned - fresh turmeric stains everything (your hands, your cutting board) that gorgeous golden yellow

My soup tastes a little bitter - what did I do wrong?

Don't worry - that's usually from the turmeric getting a bit too toasty. Next time, make sure to stir constantly when adding the spices, and don't let them cook more than a minute before adding liquid. A squeeze of lemon at the end also helps balance any bitterness beautifully.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

You bet, Sauté the onions, garlic and spices first (this step is key for flavor), then dump everything into your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3. The chicken gets crazy tender this way - just shred it right in the pot before serving.
