Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 1 Large Onion
- Stick of celery or a leek (or both)
- 4 or 5 medium spuds
- 1 decent chicken or veg stock cube
- 1 Bunch of fresh parsley
- Bouquet Garni
- Ground black pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 1 small swede
Method
- This is a flexible recipe so if you have other veg, bung it in!
Dice the onion and put it in a big pan on a low heat with a little oil and soften.
Skin the chicken thighs and pop them in too (bones too) for about five minutes and gently colour.
Chop carrot, parsnip, celery/leek. No need to make them too small. Pop them in the pan too. Add water and stock cube, bouquet garni and parsley and turn the heat up so it's simmering. Keep it simmering gently for an hour. Add more water if you like or it needs it.
After about an hour add swede and spuds, cubed. And let them cook. Thinken the soup by crushing the potatoes as it cooks.
Before serving, remove the chicken bones and pull the chicken apart so people get lots of delicious chunks. Do not blend...
Served with fresh brown bread and butter, this is a filling lunch or supper.

Does anyone know how much stock / Liquid I need to put into this soup?
Thanks

I'd aim for about 2 pints to start with but depends on your pot. But enough liquid to cover the ingredients and you can keep topping up if needs be.
