Cooking Instructions and Tips

Trim the root and dark green leafy part from the leek and discard. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

Trim the carrot, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.

Put the (now empty) saucepan back on medium heat. Add an extra splash of oil (if needed).

Once hot, add the leek and carrot to the (now empty) saucepan on medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the veg until softened, 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally.

Once softened, add the garlic, ground turmeric and harissa paste. Stir-fry for 1 min.

Once the veg has cooked, transfer the chicken back to the saucepan.

Add the diced chicken, chickpeas, chicken stock paste, passata, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir well to combine. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Bring the soup to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper if needed.
