This is a great soup for days when you are feeling under the weather or even when you are feeling just fine. Easy and quick to make - you will really win if you make it for an ill loved one. Save some for the dogs - they love it! Its a real treat - (but don't use ginger/ garlic or onions if you are going to do that)
Ingredients
Chicken - I use thighs or legs and remove all the skin and fat.
Chicken Stock - what the chicken was cooking in.
Knorr Chicken stock cube
Carrot
Courgette
Parsnip
One clove of garlic - optional
Ginger (optional - great for curing colds though)
Pasta eg penne, shells, twists, or those mini soupie ones
Fish Sauce
Boil the chicken. I put a lid on and leave it at a low/medium heat and it boils slowly and gets done in about 20 mins.
Take out the chicken and shred one thigh for one portion. Put the bones back into the stock to add flavour.
Boil some pasta. You don't need much for one person as there are all the other vegetables in the soup.
Cut one courgette, parsnip, carrot.
Then put it all the soup to continue cooking, adding the courgettes last as they do not take long to cook. Add the stock cube.
Add some ginger and garlic if you wish. Or even a chilli if you are like Thilo and wants everything hot! Season with fish sauce.
Bring to a slow boil. In less than 10 mins the carrots and parsnips should be soft, then add in the courgettes and the shredded chicken pieces.
When your pasta is done, place as much as you want to eat in a bowl and pour the soup over it. Garnish with parsley or corriander.
Mill lots of black pepper onto it.
Get lots of love. x
