Chicken Mushroom Soup With Leeks Recipes

ROASTED MUSHROOM LEEK AND CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Remove the bottom and the green tops from the leeks and then cut in half lengthways. Wash very well making sure to lift the separate layers to remove all the dirt.
• Now place the chicken, leeks, mushrooms, and garlic in groups on a large baking sheet.
• Drizzle with some oil, sprinkle with coriander, salt and pepper and then bake in a preheated 350° F oven until the chicken is cooked all the way through. You can use boneless thighs if you prefer, but bone-in will be more flavourful.
• Remove from the oven and let cool a little. Once you can safely handle the ingredients, shred the chicken (discard the bone), chop the leek and then add everything to a large pot with the broth, soy, lemon juice and basil.
• Bring to a simmer and you will be ready to serve this delicious and simple broth soup.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM & LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Place the cauliflower florets in a large pot with enough chicken stock to cover the florets (approximately 1 1/2 cups but you may need up to 2 cups). Leave the cauliflower to cook on medium high heat for approximately 8 minutes until the florets are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
• Once the cauliflower is tender, transfer the florets plus any excess liquid from the pot to a blender along with the remaining chicken stock and 1 cup almond milk and blender until smooth. Set aside
• Heat the olive oil on medium high heat in the pot and add in the bacon/pancetta. Cook for 2 minutes before adding in the diced onion and garlic. Leave everything to cook for a few minutes until the onion begins to soften and the bacon is crisp.
• Next add the chopped mushrooms, leeks, thyme, salt and pepper to the pot. Leave to cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.
• Add the cooked chicken, bay leaves and cauliflower puree to the pot, stir to ensure everything is well mixed and then leave to simmer on medium low heat for 10 minutes. Depending on the soup consistency you prefer, feel free to add more chicken stock to the soup to thin it out.
• Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as desired. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
