Thanks Debbie! Yea, it’s so simple to make and really delicious too. I love the hand-held blender for soups – super useful.

What a wonderful, healthy, delicious soup! I always save my broccoli stalks to use in stock, but pureeing them in a soup is a great idea! Thanks for sharing this with Sunday Night Soup Night, look forward to seeing you again soon

It turned out amaaaaazing! Thank you so much. I sent the recipe to my friend in Paris. I had some kosher chicken (I’m Jewish) and the package said it was already salted and soaked, so I just gave it a little rinse before putting it in the pot with the spices. What a brilliant mix of spices! So good. So glad I made it. So easy.

Hi there Rebecca! Thanks so much for your kind comment I’m neither Muslim nor Jewish, so I don’t need the chicken to be halal or kosher (I’m Christian), but I do like to salt the chicken just to “wash” it a little bit. You definitely don’t need to salt before cooking, but I just prefer it that way. Thanks again for your sweet comment, and hope to hear that your chicken soup recipe turned out well!

Hello Heba, love your website!! There is a pot of stock going on my stove right now. I followed your recipe! One question, though: if the chicken is halal or kosher, do you still need to do the salt rub before cooking it?
Many thanks for all the wonderful info here. I’m new to ‘real food’ and your site treats it all with a bit of humour that is much appreciated.
