- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1½ cups leeks sliced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1½ tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1½ cups carrots sliced
- 1 cup red pepper diced into 1/2" chunks
- 1 medium zucchini diced into 1/2" chunks
- 1 14½-ounce can diced stewed tomatoes
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 pound rotisserie chicken cut into 1" chunks
- 2 14-ounce cans coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
Heat a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, sliced leeks, and salt. Saute over medium heat until soft and lightly golden brown - about 8 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and saute for about 2 minutes, or until the garlic is transparent. Add the curry paste and stir until combined, then add the carrots, red pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, and chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid. Let simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the veggies are tender.
Once the veggies are slightly tender, add the rotisserie chicken and coconut milk. Stir and heat until simmering again.
Remove from heat and allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before adding the cilantro and serving. Enjoy!
