Spiced Chicken Clear Soup (Low-Calorie)
A light Indian-style clear broth built on simmered chicken thigh, whole spices and fresh ginger, finished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Skimmed of visible fat for a thin, clean soup rather than a creamy one, it delivers warming spice and clarity without heavy dairy or added oil.

Instructions
1
Prep
Trim visible fat from chicken thigh and cut into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
2
Sauté
Warm a small pot over medium heat with a light oil spray. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and ginger; cook 3 minutes until onion turns translucent.
3
Bloom and simmer
Stir in cumin and black pepper, cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken pieces, stock, water, and slit green chili. Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer uncovered 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through, skimming foam and fat from the surface.
4
Finish and plate
Stir in lime juice and salt, taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into a bowl, scatter cilantro over the top, and serve hot.
