Ingredients
360 g chicken breast, skinless and boneless

4 medium carrots, grated

4 cups Bok choy (Pak choi), chopped finely
1 medium zucchini (courgette), sliced thinly
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped finely
1 tablespoon ground turmeric

Preparation
Cook the chicken breasts in 4 cups of simmering water in a large pot until cooked through. Remove the chicken breasts from the water and shred them. Keep the water used to cook the chicken in.
Place a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, lower the heat to medium and add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for approximately five to six minutes, or until softened.
Add the carrots, celery, and Bok choy. Stir and cook for an additional six to eight minutes.
Stir in the zucchini, the remaining two cups of water, and the reserved water used to cook the chicken. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the spices, parsley, lemon juice, and shredded cooked chicken. Cover, and continue simmering for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
