Step 1
Thinly slice 2 of the shallots and fry in 2 tbsp oil over medium heat until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, add the remaining 2 sliced shallots and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add 1 tsp turmeric and 1 lb chicken breast. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Serve the soup over 2 cups cooked rice, topped with the crispy shallots. Add lime or chili if you like.
