Fry the onion and garlic in olive oil and cook until softened, for 5-6 minutes. Add the grated ginger, turmeric and sweet paprika and fry for a further minute or so.
Add the celery, carrot and zucchini and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Use tongs to add the chicken breast to the pot, as well as the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a light simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.
