Equipment

  • soup pot

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large leek, halved and thinly sliced white and light green parts only
  • 3 large carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 10 ounce bag frozen peas optional
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft and starting to caramelize, for 14-16 minutes.
  • Add chopped garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until spices and garlic are fragrant.
  • Add broth, coconut milk, and raw chicken to the pot, scraping up any stuck-on bits, and bring to a bare simmer. Make sure the chicken is submerged beneath the broth and partially cover. Simmer on low until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender – about 15-20 minutes.
  • Take off the lid from the soup and remove the chicken to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut into bite sized pieces or shred using two forks. Return chicken to the pot along with frozen peas (if using) and fresh parsley. Bring back to a slow simmer and allow chicken to warm through and peas to cook – about 5 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve garnished with some extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
