Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the onions, carrots and celery, and fry for 8 mins until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the stock and chipotle, bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Ladle half of the soup into a blender and blitz. Pour the blitzed soup back into the pan, then add the chicken, peas, lemon juice and some seasoning (use smoked salt, if you have it). Simmer for 5 mins to warm through.

  • step 3

    Stir the lemon zest into the crème fraîche along with the garlic and 2 tbsp water to loosen.

  • step 4

    Divide the soup between bowls, swirl in the crème fraïche and top with the chilli flakes, if using.

USE YOUR LEFTOVERS

Use any leftover broth from the smoky chipotle chicken soup instead of stock to make a white sauce or gravy. This would work as a pie filling, as a baked pasta sauce or sauce for enchiladas.
