Jamie Olivers Smokin' Chicken Chowder
- 1 left over chicken carcass, plus up to 200g left over cooked chicken
- 1 brown/cooking onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 large potato
- 1 stick of celery
- 1/2 bunch flat leafed parsley
- 4 rashers smoked streaky bacon
- 500 grams frozen sweetcorn
- 100 ml or more single cream
- Strip all the meat you can from the carcass, shred and put aside.
- Place the carcass and any bones in a pot and use the end of a rolling pin to smash them up a little.
- Cover with water (approx 2 liters) and add a capfull of organic apple cider vineger.
- This leeches the calcium out of the bones.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for at least half an hour.
- Meanwhile, peel the vege and cut into 1cm dice.
- I threw the peels into the stock along with the end of the celery you don't use and some of the celery leaves to give it more flavour and nutrients.
- I also added the magic dust from this site as it's an amazingly tasty seasoning.
- Finely slice the parsley stalks and the bacon.
- Fry bacon in pan over med heat until golden and crispy.
- Set aside, leaving pan on the heat.
- Add your vege and parsley stalks to pan of bacon fat and cook for approx 25 mins until soft, stirring regularly.
- Pour the stock through a sieve into the vegie pan.
- Add the corn and leftover chicken, then bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Use a stick blender or processor to blitz a quarter or more of the soup until smooth.
- Return back to pan, leaving the rest chunky.
- Remove from heat and add the cream and season to taste.
- Serve topped with crumbled bacon and parsley leaves.
- Delicious dunking my savoury muffins into this
