Chicken, Spinach and Runner-Bean Soup

Lots of cheap food on offer from the local Co-op yesterday, so I roasted some chicken drumsticks last night, and made a soup base today with one medium leek, about 250g of Moroccan runner-beans (blended once the water came to the boil).

I chopped up two handfuls of fresh spinach leaves and added them to the pot. Plus some chicken stock and black pepper.

Remove the chicken meat from three drumsticks, and cut into small pieces. Add to the pot, along with a small handful of red lentils.

Cooks in an hour or so under glass at a low heat (stir occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot).

Another version of this soup features a handful of fresh coriander leaves. Delicious either way!
