Description

A warm, comforting soup packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large leek, halved 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
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté for 14-16 minutes until leeks are soft and starting to caramelize.
  2. Add chopped garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken broth, coconut milk, and raw chicken to the pot, bringing to a bare simmer. Ensure the chicken is submerged and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken, shred or cut into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot along with frozen peas and fresh parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes until peas are bright green.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra depth, a splash of lemon juice just before serving brightens flavors. Try incorporating greens like kale or spinach for added nutrition.
