Add carrots, celery, onion and saute for 6 mins or until soft.

Add garlic, salt, paprika, cumin, thyme, rosemary and saute for 1 min.
Step 4
Add chicken, lentils, chopped tomatoes, bone broth (reserving 1 cup/mug full) and bring to the boil.
Step 5
To a blender cup, add butter beans, cottage cheese, and the reserved cup of bone broth. Blend until smooth.
