Method

  1. Place the spring onions in a large pan with 6 tbsp stock and seasoning. Cover and cook for 2-3 mins until softened. Add the potatoes, the rest of the stock and the milk. Bring to the boil and simmer gently, partially covered, for 10 mins or until the potatoes are just tender. Ladle out about a quarter of the mixture into a blender and whizz until smooth. Stir back into the pan.
  2. Add the chicken, sweetcorn and lentils to the pan and cook for 5-7 mins more or until the chicken is cooked. Check the seasoning and serve in warm bowls, scattered with chopped chives (if using).

    I think this soup is great, but be careful just to keep it at a simmer once you add the milk to prevent is splitting which is what happened the first time I made it and boiled it too vigorously!

    I made it in a Thermomix. Try cutting down the liquid content a little to make it thicker as it was quite thin. Might be good fully processed also although I'm not sure if the lentils would make it a little grainy (sieve through muslin?)
