• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 pound okra, trimmed and sliced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

• Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Make the Soup Base:

• In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the Okra and Chicken:

• Add the sliced okra and chicken pieces to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Season the Soup:

• Pour in the chicken broth, and add the ground cumin, paprika, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.

Finish the Soup:

• Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. The lemon juice will brighten up the flavors and add a touch of acidity.

Garnish and Serve:

• Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and parsley. Serve the Okra Chicken Soup hot, with crusty bread or rice on the side if desired.
• Enjoy your Okra Chicken Soup, a flavorful and hearty dish that's perfect for a cozy winter meal or a healthy lunch option. The combination of tender chicken, nutritious okra, and a fragrant broth is sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds.
