Lentil Roast Chicken Soup
This soup is perfect when you have leftover chicken. It’s also worth roasting a chicken for (or picking one up already roasted). Making the tasty stock takes a while but requires very little effort.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 roast chicken meat shredded, bones separated for stock (we love Waitoa)
- 2 litres water
- 6 sticks celery roughly chopped
- 1 bag Wilcox beta bites carrots roughly chopped
- 2 onions peeled and quartered
- 5 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp whole peppercorns
- 1 bunch Italian parsley we love Superb Herb
- 1 bunch thyme we love Superb Herb
- 1 country chicken soup mix we love King Soup
- 1 tbsp avocado oil infused with garlic we love Olivado

To serve
- 1 pack garlic breads toasted (we love Giannis)
Instructions
- To make the tasty soup broth add the chicken bones and carcass, water, celery, carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and half the parsley and thyme to a large soup pot. Pour water. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 60 mins.

- Add the shredded chicken, kale, the rest of the herbs, lemon juice and avocado and garlic oil, then simmer for a further 15 minutes.
