    Really delicious, and has the added bonus of being healthy. I didn't cut any of the ingredients out, but added a leek, and a can of butter beans. I put the whole lot in a slow cooker, didn't brown anything, came out perfect.

    I thought this looked anemic and bland on my plate but the taste was phenominal! So easy to make and an easy way to be healthy in winter when all you want is comfort food! halved for 2 as its just me - and will be having the rest tomorrow! georgeous, doesn't need any changes.

    My family love this recipe I serve it with home made bread and a little extra olive oil drizzled on top. I also make a veggie version with quorn fillets for my son's girlfriend.

    I have just tried this today and yesterday. I made a small addition of a little French mustard for extra flavour. It was very tasty. It goes well with a jacket potato and also with a few saute potatoes ( though not in the same meal!).

    This is the first chicken soup I made and I received a marriage proposal right after giving it to a sick guest I had for that evening :) It was really yummy! Nothing to add or remove, easy to make and to eat!

    Made this last night and, despite my reservations, it was very tasty and everyone really enjoyed it. Will try it on the grandchildren next.

    I used rosemary and sage instead of thyme, also used a mix of knorr chicken stock pot and marigold vegetable buillon for the stock. Followed the recipe exactly after that, but still needed a little something so stirred through a few chilli flakes. It felt and looked like it was going to be bland but I absolutely loved its simplicity and lightness.. and I'm going to work on tweaking this one to my tase.

    Tasted really good and the beans were really yummy in it but not a hell of a lot of flavour but I'd still do it again, you can't really go too wrong with a chicken casserole. If you like this I'd recommend the "spring chicken in a pot".

    Really delicious (I agree with the comment which says to use the Knorr stockpots) and filling. Added some garlic and cooked it in the pressure cooker without the beans for 7 minutes at high pressure, natural pressure release for 7 minutes, then added the beans and simmered for 5 minutes.

    A simple yet delicious low fat recipe. Would try again with slow cooker as I think it would work well.

    What a lovely light and refreshingly tasty mid-week meal. I wouldn't say it was a meal to serve for a dinner party but it really is delicious -bonus is it is healthy too.
