Chicken and coriander soup

Serves: 5
Course: Main Course
Cooking Time: 0 hr 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 leeks, washed and chopped
  • 2 onions, peeled and chopped
  • Big knob butter (about 25g)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 litres chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 big bunches fresh coriander (about 50g)
  • 4 chicken breasts, skinned and diced

In a large saucepan on a medium heat, sweat the leeks, onions and garlic in the butter until they’re soft – about 10 minutes. Add the stock and the coriander and blitz with a blender until smooth. Add the raw (or cooked) diced chicken and poach gently until cooked (or if already cooked, till warmed through) – again, about 10 minutes. Serve with some crusty sourdough.
