Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ small yellow onion finely diced (87g)
- 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped (122g)
- 1 small leek chopped (67g)
- 3 medium stalks celery chopped (120g)
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves chopped
- 8 g fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1.5 quarts chicken stock 1.5 litres
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste (dependant on how salty your stock is)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2.5 cups cooked shredded chicken 300g
- 1 cup chopped cavolo nero or kale 50g
To serve
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a non stick soup pot and sauté on a medium heat the onion, carrots, leek and celery with chopped thyme and about ⅔rds of the parsley for about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add the stock, bay leaves, season and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook with lid on for 15 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken. Remove half mixture and bay leaves and pulse with stick blender. This thickens the soup and adds flavour.
- Add the rest of soup back into the pan along with the greens and simmer until they soften (about 1 minute.)
- Mix the lemon juice with olive oil and swirl into the soup and top with fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste and enjoy. To make it even more delicious I like to swirl through a little butter at the end before serving too!
