Notes

*If the chicken is not cooked, do NOT add the coconut milk yet.

Cook for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
Add the coconut milk and stir to combine, continue to cook until the coconut milk is incorporated.

Nicola comes home with all kinds of vegetables! I think he might love veggies as much as I do. But, he comes home with mass quantities! And sometimes I have no idea what to do with all of them. I have really no idea what to do with Leeks except Leek and potato soup, so this soup was a super great experiment.
