For the Soup:
1/4cup olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
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
6cups chicken broth
1 13.5ounce can coconut milk
1 1/4pounds boneless skinless thighs or breasts
1 10ounce bag frozen peas (optional)
1/4cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook onions, leeks, carrots, and celery: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté until leeks are soft and starting to caramelize, for 14-16 minutes.
Add aromatics: Add chopped garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add broth, coconut milk, and chicken: Add broth, coconut milk, and raw chicken to the pot, bring to a simmer. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender – about 15-20 minutes.
Shred chicken and add remaining soup ingredients: Remove chicken to cool slightly. Cut into pieces or shred, return to the pot with peas, and parsley. Simmer until chicken is warm and peas are cooked – about 5 minutes.
Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
