Classic Chicken Soup

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Place chicken, onion, peppercorns and thyme in a large pot and cover with 3 litres water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Step 2

Strain chicken and seasonings through a colander, reserving the liquid. Remove meat from chicken bones. Shred and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large pot and add leek, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until just tender. Add the Soup Mix and potatoes with 2 litres of the reserved cooking liquid. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes until soup mix is tender. Return chicken meat to pot and cook for a further 5 minutes until heated through. Season to taste and finish with parsley.

Tips

  • For a quicker soup, use store bought chicken stock and shredded charcoal chicken
  • Try adding shredded spinach or kale to soup
  • Use any of the vegetable off cuts, such as celery leaves and carrot tops, to make the chicken stock
