Ingredients
• 300G shredded roast chicken (we often cheat and buy a whole rotisserie chook from the supermarket)

• 1 x teaspoon light soy sauce
• 1 x teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Method
• Heat the oil in a large pot (which must have a fitted lid) over medium heat.
• Add bacon. You want it to just start browning and releasing it’s tasty fat. Leave it alone for about 1 minute.
• Then add onion, garlic, ginger, celery, celery & lemon rind.
• Stir together the ingredients and adjust the heat to ensure nothing burns.
• Sweat off the ingredients until they become translucent - just a few minutes.
• Now add all the dry herb ingredients. Stir well until they become fragrant.
• Now add the hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, soy & tomato paste. Stir well & cook down for a few minutes.
• Add the potato & leek and mix everything together.
• Now add the chicken stock, water, shredded chicken & the chicken wings.
• Bring to the boil. Stir well.
• Reduce to a simmer and place the lid on the pot - leaving a small gap at the edge - to release some of the heat so the soup reduces and thickens.
• Let it cook on a simmer for 1 hour. Stirring occasionally.
• After 1 hour - TASTE TASTE TASTE & season with salt & cracked black pepper.
• I take the wings out, pull the meat off the bones and chuck the meat back into the soup (or in my mouth).
• ENJOY the healing powers of the magical chicken soup!
