In a large pot add the shredded chicken, red pepper, aubergine, mixed dried herbs, onion and the chicken stock pots, give it a little stir and gently warm on a low heat. This will infuse the flavours.
After about five minutes, add the water and gently simmer for 30 minutes (if you want to use vegetables such as carrots or potatoes, this is the stage to add them)

After 30 minutes add the cabbage and butter beans, simmer for another 15 minutes – you only want to cook the cabbage gently, not obliterate like we use to in the old days, just enough so we can keep that fresh texture.
Finally add the cherry tomatoes, Don’t slice or half them because we just want to gently heat them through (five minutes)

The heat will produce an amazing burst of juicy refreshing flavours from the tomatoes.
Season to taste.
Use a slotted spoon to add the ingredients into a warm dish then ladle the refreshing stock over your ingredients for a perfect no hassle clean tasting soup.
