Begin by washing the radishes thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut them into quarters.
Slice the leek lengthwise, wash thoroughly to remove any grit, and then slice thinly.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the quartered radishes and diced potato. Season with salt and black pepper.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the radishes and potatoes are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped chives.
