Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced carrots and green beans. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the pumpkin and chicken broth. Optional turmeric can also be added for extra health benefits.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the soup to cool before serving it to your dog. Ensure the soup is at a suitable temperature before offering it.
