Thai-spiced chicken and leek soup
We’ve spruced up a batch of leftover leek and potato soup to make this creamy, Thai-spiced chicken dish. It’s equally good served as a light lunch on its own as it is a dinner with rice or noodles.

Method
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, chopped chilli and coriander stems, then fry gently for 2 minutes until the garlic has turned golden.
- Add the leek and potato soup to the pan with the lime zest and coconut cream, then simmer for 5 minutes. Use a stick blender to blend the soup in the pan until smooth. Taste and season with the lime juice, salt and pepper. Shred the chicken breasts (discard any skin and bone), then stir the meat into the soup and put back over a medium heat until the chicken has heated through.
- Spoon the soup into warmed bowls, top with the coconut flakes, sliced chilli (if using) and coriander leaves, then serve.
