Chicken and Tomato Soup

A bargain pack of chicken drumsticks prompted this dish. Simply made with tomato passata, white onion, one green chilli pepper (deseeded and diced), the meat from the drumsticks, some turmeric, some Quixo onion granules (Aldi), freshly ground black pepper, chicken stock and herbs (in this case basil and herbes de Provence).

The diced vegetables were prepared first and put into a lidded pot. I added a pint of boiling water, and brought to a simmer. I added 150g of tomato passata, and the meat from the drumsticks (which I had roasted in an oven dish on the preceding day). Then the turmeric, the onion gravy granules, the black pepper, the chicken stock were added to the pot.

Simmer on the hob under glass for between 45 minutes and and hour. Add the herbs shortly before  serving, and stir together thoroughly.
