Serves 4 - 6

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 2 large red onion, finely sliced
  • 1 red chilli, diced , half the seeds removed
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 300g sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
  • 3 boneless chicken breasts, diced
  • 50ml sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 600ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • Handful of basil and mint leaves, shredded
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: How to make Gordon’s spicy chicken soup

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and gently sauté the onion, chilli, star anise, cumin and garlic and fry for 5 minute or until the onions start to soften. Add the potatoes and stir well, cook for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chicken and allow colouring, then adding the sesame oil and soy sauce and tamarind.

2. Pour in the coconut milk and add enough stock to cover the potatoes. Bring the soup to the boil, cover with a lid and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Pick out the star anise and discard.

3. Season with soy sauce or salt to taste and add the herbs just before serving.
