Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced leeks can substitute with finely diced fennel or green onions
  • 1/2 cup diced onions can be skipped if sensitive to onions
  • 1 cup diced carrots no substitutions necessary
  • 1 cup diced celery for a milder taste, finely dice or substitute with fennel
  • 1 cup frozen peas convenient option
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken (breasts/thighs) thighs provide a richer flavor
  • 4 cups chicken broth using high-quality broth enhances flavor; vegetable broth works for vegetarian adaptations
  • 1 cup coconut milk can be replaced with any dairy-free milk or omitted
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric powdered is commonly used, but fresh can be substituted in a different ratio
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sliced leeks and diced onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  2. Incorporate the diced carrots and diced celery into the pot. Stir in salt, pepper, and ground turmeric. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  3. Nestle in the chicken breasts or thighs. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot.
  6. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
