Ingredients
1/4 cup 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
6 cups chicken broth
1 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 10 ounce bag frozen peas (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Additional kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Sauté for 14-16 minutes, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft and beginning to caramelize.
Add Aromatics: Incorporate chopped garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning, continuing to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer with Chicken: Pour in chicken broth and add the raw chicken. Scrape up any bits stuck to the pot, bring to a simmer, and ensure chicken is submerged. Partially cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
Final Touches: Remove chicken to a cutting board, cool slightly, then shred. Return shredded chicken to the pot with frozen peas (if using) and fresh parsley. Simmer until chicken is heated through and peas are cooked.
Season and Serve: Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
