Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chopping the leeks, onions, carrots, celery, and peas into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In your large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and onions, sautéing for about 5–7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the chopped carrots and celery, cooking for another 3–5 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Sprinkle in spices, including turmeric and minced garlic, allowing them to sizzle for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, pour in chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring gently. Increase heat to bring to a gentle simmer; cook for 20–30 minutes.
  6. Let the soup simmer on medium-low heat, checking occasionally for doneness until chicken reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove chicken, shred into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot.
  8. Finally, stir in the peas and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
