Method

  1. 1

    Put the chicken, stock, garlic and half the diced potato into a pan, bring to a simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  2. 2

    Remove the chicken, shred it, and return to the pan along with the remaining potato and the corn.

  3. 3

    Simmer for a further 10–12 minutes, mashing some of the potato against the side of the pan to thicken the soup slightly.

  4. 4

    Stir in the oregano and spring onion, and season to taste.

  5. 5

    Ladle into a bowl and top with the capers, a spoonful of soured cream, and the avocado slices.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 135 ml soured cream, ¾ avocado and 7 spring onions. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
