Spiced black bean & chicken soup with kale image

Use up leftover roast or ready-cooked chicken in this healthy and warming South-American style soup, spiced up with cumin and chilli

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp mild olive oil
2 fat garlic cloves , crushed
small bunch coriander stalks finely chopped, leaves picked
zest 1 lime , then cut into wedges
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli flakes
400g can chopped tomatoes
400g can black beans , rinsed and drained
600ml chicken stock
175g kale , thick stalks removed, leaves shredded
250g leftover roast or ready-cooked chicken
50g feta , crumbled, to serve
flour & corn tortillas , toasted, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic, coriander stalks and lime zest, then fry for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the cumin and chilli flakes, fry for 1 min more, then tip in the tomatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, then crush the beans against the bottom of the pan a few times using a potato masher. This will thicken the soup a little.
  • Stir the kale into the soup, simmer for 5 mins or until tender, then tear in the chicken and let it heat through. Season to taste with salt, pepper and juice from half the lime, then serve in shallow bowls, scattered with the feta and a few coriander leaves. Serve the remaining lime in wedges for the table, with the toasted tortillas on the side. The longer you leave the chicken in the pan, the thicker the soup will become, so add a splash more stock if you can't serve the soup straight away.
