- 1 large carrot, chopped
- ½ tbsp thyme leaves, roughly chopped
- 700ml chicken stock
- 100g frozen peas
Additional Ingredients
- 150g leftover roast chicken, shredded and skin removed
- 1½ tbsp Greek yogurt
- ½ small garlic clove, crushed
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Soup Maker: Place the chopped onion, chopped carrot, roughly chopped thyme leaves, chicken stock, and frozen peas into your soup maker. Be careful not to fill above the maximum fill line to avoid spills.
- Cook Soup: Select the ‘chunky soup’ function on your soup maker and start the cooking cycle. This will blend and cook the ingredients to a hearty, textured consistency suitable for a chunky soup.
- Prepare Chicken and Yogurt Dressing: While the soup is cooking, shred the leftover roast chicken, ensuring the skin is removed. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to create a tangy dressing.
- Combine and Warm: Once the soup maker cycle is complete, stir the shredded roast chicken into the hot soup and leave it to warm through thoroughly.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in some of the prepared yogurt mixture to add creaminess and a hint of garlic and lemon flavor. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Using leftover roast chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
- Do not overfill the soup maker to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
- If Greek yogurt isn’t available, plain yogurt can be a substitute but will be less thick.
- You can adjust thyme quantity based on your preference for herbal flavor.
- To make it dairy-free, omit the yogurt or use a coconut yogurt alternative.
