Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 (plus more to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 (10 oz) bag frozen peas (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, leek, carrots, and celery. Sprinkle with kosher salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 14–16 minutes until vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized.

2. Add garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning. Stir frequently and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

3. Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk. Add chicken and ensure it is submerged. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Cover partially and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

4. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot. Add peas and parsley. Simmer for 5 more minutes until peas are tender.

5. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

If you’re new to prepping leeks, be sure to rinse them thoroughly between the layers to remove hidden grit.

For a vegetarian twist, skip the chicken and use chickpeas or tofu.

Use low-sodium broth to control salt levels.

Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for later.
