Step 1

First, I prepared the mise en place: - Finely dice: carrots, celery, shallots - Slice leeks - Cut 1 thumb of ginger (for the stalk) - Finely cut 1 thumb of ginger (for the soup) - Finely cut 4 cloves of garlic (for the soup)

Step 2

Next, I prepared the chicken stock: - I seared the chicken breasts on both sides and seasoned them with salt, ground pepper and garlic powder - I added a thumb of ginger, the outside shell of the shallots, some of the inner celery stalks, and the skin of the carrots - Cover these ingredients (and then some) with water and bring to a boil - I added an organic vegetable stock cube (as I didn’t have enough vegetables to add to the stock) - Lastly I added some fresh thyme and the rind of the parmesan - Lower to a simmer, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through - Remove the chicken from the pot and shred - Strain the stock

Step 3

In a separate pot to the stock start preparing the soup: Fry the carrot, celery, leeks, and shallot in some olive oil Add the garlic and ginger Add the spices and fry Add the stock (I used 500ml of store bought stock and 750ml of my own stock) and simmer Add a scotch bonnet (optional) for 5-10 minutes to extract some of its spice and flavour Boil some pasta (optional) in another pot and then add to the soup bowl Fill your soup bowls, add some grated parmesan and top with spring onions :)
