This dish came about while my Eldest Grandchild Freya was visiting me.
Now she doesn’t like chicken soup, the tinned variety that is but I converted her to this “Peasant” dish inspired by my visits to places such as Corfu and Slovenia where they use the best of ingredients that they have.

Ingredients

  1. Leftover shredded chicken (optional if you want a vegetarian dish)
  2. 1medium onion (diced)
  3. 1aubergine cut into chunks
  4. 2red peppers (seeded and sliced)
  5. 1 tinbutter beans
  6. 15cherry tomatoes
  7. whole Cabbage or any greens such as kale
  8. Chicken stock (I used two stock pots, use vegetable stock if you wish)
  9. 1 tbspmixed dried herbs
  10. Salt and pepper for taste
  11. 750 mlwater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    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)

  2. 2

    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)

  3. 3

    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.
