Method

Chicken soup

Using a food processor with a grating attachment or a hand grater, julienne all the vegetables.

Place the vegetables and chicken in a large stock pot and cover with water. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 1 hour before removing the chicken to cool.

Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat and discard the skin and bones.

Add the salt, pepper and ground spices to the stock, mixing well then cooking for a further 10 minutes to incorporate well.

Return the chicken to the pot and heat through.

Serve in deep bowls and top with a good heaped tablespoon of Skhug (see below).
