CHICKEN SOUP WITH KALE, CHAYOTE AND PONZU

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and then cut it along the bone on both sides so that there are 3 pieces of chicken for each thigh.
• Put chicken in a saucepan with about a quart of water, so that the chicken is covered. Add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to low, simmering for about 1/2 hour.
• Skim the water to remove any scum and then transfer the chicken and water to a larger kettle or stockpot. Turn on the heat to medium.
• While the chicken thighs are cooking in the sauce pan, wash the kale. Pull the smaller leaves off the stem and then trim the thick stems off, and tear the leaves up into pieces that are about 1" to 2". Put the kale into the larger pot on top of the chicken first.
• Slice the chayote, along the slit, in half, and then peel and cut into 1" cubes.
• Peel the potato and cut into 1" cubes.
• Peel and cut the carrots, and celery and put everything into pot.
• The kale will be wilting. Give things a stir. Cover with water.
• Chop as much onion as you like, and as much garlic as you like and add it to the pot.
• Add as much water as you like and bring it all to a boil. Then lower the heat to simmer for about an hour.
• I added the soy sauce and ponzu after it had finished cooking, but I'm not sure it matters when it is added inches I added just enough for an accent flavor without adding enough to make it strong.

SPICED BLACK BEAN & CHICKEN SOUP WITH KALE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic, coriander stalks and lime zest, then fry for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the cumin and chilli flakes, fry for 1 min more, then tip in the tomatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, then crush the beans against the bottom of the pan a few times using a potato masher. This will thicken the soup a little.
• Stir the kale into the soup, simmer for 5 mins or until tender, then tear in the chicken and let it heat through. Season to taste with salt, pepper and juice from half the lime, then serve in shallow bowls, scattered with the feta and a few coriander leaves. Serve the remaining lime in wedges for the table, with the toasted tortillas on the side. The longer you leave the chicken in the pan, the thicker the soup will become, so add a splash more stock if you can't serve the soup straight away.
