Spiced Black Bean and Chicken Soup with Kale
Use up leftover roast or ready-cooked chicken in this healthy and warming soup, spiced with cumin and chilli. We love mopping up the juices with toasted tortillas and the crumbled feta is a super salty bonus!
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
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 tinned 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. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir the kale into the soup, and cook for 5 mins or until tender, then tear in the chicken and let it heat through. 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. 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 tortillas on the side. You could heat these in a dry frying pan for a minute per side for some added texture if you wish.
