Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large leek, sliced (white and light green parts only)
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken
  • 10 oz frozen peas (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced leek, carrots, celery, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add Seasonings: Stir in the garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning, cooking until the mixture becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
  5. Finish the Soup: Add the coconut milk, frozen peas (if using), and chopped parsley. Stir to combine and heat through, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For Extra Creaminess: Use full-fat coconut milk, which adds richness to the soup.
  • Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer the broth a bit longer to reduce it slightly.
  • Avoid Overcooking the Vegetables: Sauté until just softened, as they’ll continue cooking with the broth.
