A comforting and healthy chicken soup infused with turmeric, fresh vegetables, and creamy coconut milk for an anti-inflammatory boost. Ready in just 40 minutes, it’s perfect for cozy family dinners or quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large leek (white & light green parts), sliced
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder (or 1 tbsp fresh grated turmeric)
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegan version)
  • 13.5 oz can coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 10 oz frozen peas (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, leek, carrots, and celery with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 8–10 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning. Cook for 2–3 minutes until aromatic.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add chicken pieces. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
  5. Add coconut milk and frozen peas (if using). Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stir in fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric for brighter flavor and more potent anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Avoid high heat after adding coconut milk to prevent curdling.
  • Shred chicken while still warm for easier handling.
  • Stir in spinach or kale at the end for added greens.
