Ingredients

  • Large organic or free-range chicken
  • 4 carrots, peeled, sliced
  • 1 celery heart, sliced, keep yellow leaves (or one celery stalk, chopped)
  • 12 new potatoes, peeled
  • A few sprigs of thyme
  • 2 handfuls of vegetables of your choice (broccoli, green beans, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup of green ends of spring onions
  • Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped

Instructions

  1. Put the whole chicken (without any innards or stuffing it may contain), carrots, celery, potatoes and thyme into a large soup pot and add three litres or water, or enough to cover chicken.
  2. Simmer for 90 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Remove chicken and strain the broth. Save vegetables for later. Heat the broth back to a high temperature and reduce for about 15 minutes, or until there is about two litres left.
  4. Tear the chicken into long chunks.
  5. Once the broth has reduced, put the vegetables back into the pot with the new vegetables, spring onions and chicken.
  6. Simmer for five minutes. Remove thyme sprigs.
  7. Serve in warmed bowls with chopped parsley and celery leaves.
