Ingredients
– 1/4 cup cooking fat
– 1 medium onion
– 1 large leek (white and light green parts)
– 3 large carrots
– 3 stalks celery
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 3 cloves garlic
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
– 6 cups chicken broth
– 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
– 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 bag (10 ounces) frozen peas
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1-First Steps: Sautรฉ and Build Flavor Heat the cooking fat in a large pot over medium heat to kick things off. Add the onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and salt, then sautรฉ until the leeks soften and caramelize, which takes about 14-16 minutes. This step really brings out the natural sweetness and depth in your anti inflammatory chicken soup.
2-Adding Aromatics and Broth Once that’s done, stir in the garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning, cooking for 2-3 minutes until everything smells amazing. Pour in the broth, coconut milk, and raw chicken pieces next, then bring the mix to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook on low for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are tender, making sure not to boil too hard if you’re using coconut milk.
3- After that, remove the chicken, shred it or cut it into bite-sized pieces, and put it back in the pot with the peas and parsley. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the peas are bright and tender. Finally, season with more salt and pepper as needed, and serve it up with a garnish of extra parsley for a finishing touch.

๐ฅฅ Add coconut milk at the end of cooking rather than boiling vigorously to prevent it from splitting and curdling
๐ Use chicken thighs for extra flavor and moisture, or breasts for a leaner option – adjust cooking time accordingly
๐ฑ For vegetarian version, omit chicken and add extra vegetables like sweet potatoes or mushrooms, using vegetable broth instead
