This Roast Chicken Soup is a simple classic. It is delicious, comforting and it is a great cure for winter colds and flu. The peas in this recipe provide a sweet little pop of flavor which I find is often missing from simple soups. To garnish this soup, I whip up a creamy little yoghurt, lemon and garlic dressing which I swirl on top of each bowl just before serving. Yum!
I make this soup by frying up some onions and carrots in olive oil. Then I add some chicken stock and bring to the boil. Towards the end of the cooking time I add some chicken and my secret to amazing texture in this soup is that instead of blending the whole lot, I puree half of the mixture. Finally I add the peas to the soup and heat through before swirling some of the garlic and lemon yoghurt on top.
