Ingredients

    • 350-400g poached chicken leg meat, shredded
    • 1,100 ml chicken bone broth
    • 1 small white onion, finely diced
    • 100g leek, halved and finely sliced (rinse well!)
    • 250g mushrooms, sliced
    • 100g celery, small dice
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves 
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 150 ml double cream
    • 15ml extra virgin olive oil
    • 15g unsalted butter
    • Sea salt & cracked black pepper, to taste
    • 1 pack of fu:di High Protein Seeded Rolls
    • 10ml extra virgin olive oil

    Let's Begin!

    Step 1 - Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius. Tear your fu:di High Protein Seeded Rolls (just 5.4g carbs per serving!) into 2cm rough squares. Place on a lined baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over. Season to taste and place in the oven until golden and crispy, for around 15 minutes.

    Step 2 - Sauté Aromatics

    Warm the extra virgin olive oil and butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, leek, thyme, celery to the pan and sweat until tender. Add in the bay leaf and garlic and continue to cook for a further two minutes. Season with salt and pepper 

    Step 3 - Simmer

    Pour in the bone broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes, until veg is tender. Add the double cream and mix to combine. 

    Step 4 - Finish

    Stir in the shredded chicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Season with sea salt & cracked black pepper.

    Serve!

    Ladle into warm bowls; finish with parsley, chives, a tiny drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and extra thyme. Pair with golden crunchy croutons using our fu:di High Protein Seeded Rolls. Perfect for dipping, dunking or floating on top! 


    Chef’s Tip!

    For extra depth, sauté the mushrooms until well browned before adding the broth. Brighten at the end with a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of lemon zest. Cool fully for meal prep; refrigerate 3-4 days or freeze. Reheat gently and avoid boiling after adding cream. 🍜
