4 servings
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 large leeks (white and light-green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground white pepper
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For serving
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
- 1–2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced leeks and 1 tsp salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are completely softened and translucent, about 10–12 minutes.
- 2
Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
