Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 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
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 bag (10 ounces) frozen peas (optional)
Liquids, Seasonings, and Herbs:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious soup vessel over medium flame, introducing a medley of aromatic vegetables: onions, leeks, carrots, and celery. Sprinkle with salt and coax the ingredients into a soft, golden transformation, allowing leeks to develop a delicate caramelized essence.
- Introduce minced garlic, vibrant turmeric, and poultry seasoning into the vegetable landscape. Gently integrate these aromatics, releasing their fragrant potential and awakening the kitchen with their rich, warm profile.
- Pour chicken broth and velvety coconut milk into the vegetable foundation. Nestle raw chicken into the liquid, ensuring complete submersion. Liberate any caramelized remnants clinging to the pot’s base, then guide the mixture into a gentle, bubbling simmer.
- Partially shield the pot, allowing the soup to tenderly cook for approximately 15-20 minutes. Verify chicken’s complete cooking and vegetables’ soft consistency through careful inspection.
- Transfer chicken to a preparation surface, transforming it into delicate, bite-sized morsels using fork techniques. Reintroduce the chicken to the simmering liquid.
- Incorporate frozen peas and freshly chopped parsley, invigorating the soup with bright color and verdant flavor. Allow ingredients to harmonize briefly.
- Calibrate seasoning with salt and pepper, creating a balanced flavor profile. Present the soup adorned with additional parsley if desired, offering a final aromatic flourish.
Notes
- Crafting this soup transforms mundane ingredients into a vibrant, wellness-packed meal bursting with golden turmeric and creamy coconut flavors.
