Method

  • Step 1

    Roast the whole chicken and split into portions, reserving about 200g for the soup. Place the chicken bones, vegetables, herbs and spices into a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to the boil.

  • Step 2

    Skim off any foam from the top and add 1 litre of cold water. Bring back to the boil, and then reduce to a simmer.

  • Step 3

    After 2 hours of simmering, strain all of the liquid through a fine strainer. Add a touch of salt and allow to cool.

  • Step 4

    Place the cooked carrots from the pot into shallow bowls, and tear in the chicken pieces. Ladle over the liquid and drizzle in some olive oil.
