Equipment
Ingredients
- oil spray
- 250 g chicken breasts cut in to bite size pieces (About 2 chicken breasts
- 320 g potatoes peeled & diced (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 1 onion diced
- 235 g leeks sliced (about 2 leeks)

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 chicken stock cubes or stock pots

- 50 g fat free natural yogurt stir in at the end
Instructions
- Spray a pan with frylight & saute the onion and chicken on medium to low heat until onion is translucent.
- Now add all of the veg and thyme to the pan, season and spray with frylight again and put on a lid and continue to cook for 10mins – fry longer if the chicken is not cooked through.
- Add to the soup maker and add the water, milk and stock and set the soup maker to smooth.
- Once the soup maker has finished, add a good dollop of fat free fromage frais, natural yoghurt or quark and blend again, then it is ready to serve!
- If you want to store leftovers, then I am loving my new soup mugs that come with vented lids that are microwavable, freezeable & dishwasher safe!

Notes
- If you're on a budget and want to spread this recipe further, you can serve it as 6 cups of soup as opposed to 4 bowls.
- For a semi chunky soup, just cook on chunky first, then either manually blend briefly, or half of the soup.
- Don't skip the sauteing as this creates a Malliard effect, making the ingredients sweeter and richer. Otherwise, add a pinch of sweetness at the end.
