Use leftover chicken breast in this substantial healthy soup. Alternatively, make the recipe vegetarian by topping with chunky, fresh guacamole
INGREDIENT :
2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp mild chilli powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
400g can chopped tomatoes
400g can black beans
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 cooked skinless chicken breast, about 125g, shredded
handful chopped coriander
1 lime, juiced
½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
RECIPE DIRECTION :
Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion and pepper, and fry, stirring frequently, for 10 mins. Stir in the garlic and spices, then tip in the tomatoes and beans with their liquid, half a can of water and the bouillon powder. Simmer, covered, for 15 mins.
Meanwhile, tip the chicken into a bowl, add the coriander and lime juice with a little chilli (if using, or see tip below for guacamole alternative) and toss well. Ladle the soup into two bowls, top with the chicken and serve.
