- Add chopped garlic, ginger, turmeric and chicken seasoning and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add chicken stock or broth, coconut milk and raw chicken. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender - about 20 minutes. Do not boil the soup too vigorously to prevent the coconut milk from splitting.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
