    Spring Chicken and Caramelised Leek Soup

    This Spring Chicken and Caramelised Leek Soup is so full of flavour, it is healthy and it is the perfect soup for when the weather starts to change.

    Spring Chicken and Caramelised Soup is full of vegetables and rice noodles and has the smooth, deep flavour of caramelised leeks....and it is gluten-free!! 

    There is nothing better than when you have had a busy day and the weather has been cold and wet, than to snuggle up with a delicious bowl of warm soup.

    For my family right now we are in the middle of cold weather and cooking soups and keeping cosy with a great movie is our way of getting through the chill.

    But...I can see that the weather is trying to change. I am starting to see blossoms on the almond trees, hear birds singing in the morning and the light is lasting longer in the day. Now these little signs give me the desire to get through the cold weather and look forward to spring.

    So in honour of Spring coming (...soon 😉) we make (and gobble up) this Spring Chicken and Caramelised Leek Soup! 

    TIP - The tip to making this soup full of flavour is to make sure you take the time to really caramelise the leeks. The best way to do that is to add the garlic, oil and the leeks in the saucepan and on low heat let them cook slowly to bring out the flavours till they turn golden. Make sure you stir the leeks so they don't burn.

    The other great tip about this recipe is that I use cooked BBQ chicken, (especially when I don't have much time). I pick up a cooked BBQ chicken (gluten-free one) on the way home, chop it and then simply add it to the soup. (All mums and dads need a recipe like this...tastes impressive but you know it really wasn't that hard :-))

      Oh I haven't had leeks since last fall - this soup sounds absolutely amazing. I've had a cold for almost 2 weeks, and could have curled up with a bowl of this. Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites
