Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red or yellow peppers cut into strips
  • 1/4 scotch bonnet adjust as necessary
  • 500 ml vegetarian stock Oxo brand preferred for this recipe
  • 1 large handful coriander minced
  • 10 grams garlic butter Lurpak
  • 100 grams chicken breasts cooked and shredded

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan with a lid, heat the olive oil on low heat.
  • Add garlic butter and onions, put lid on pan and cook on low until translucent, sweet but not brown.
  • Add peppers and scotch bonnet. Cook until peppers are soft. You can remove the scotch bonnet at this time or mash it in for a hotter soup.
  • Add the chicken and stock. Bring to a simmer. This does taste better if it sits for a few hours to blend the flavours and re-heated gently on low.
  • Add in coriander just before serving.
