Chicken Chilli #SoupHero Soup

You'll remember that recently we ran our first Perthshire Soup Hero Competition and we are delighted to bring you the winning entry from Alex Hone right here! Competition was tough - we do come from a long line of amazing soup makers us Scots - but this warming Chicken Chilli Soup ticked all the boxes for us.  

 

It really is a whole meal in a bowl, with chicken thighs packing it full of flavour and wholesome protein. add to this the abundance of Super foods Alex has added and you have a bowlful of tasty, healthy goodness right there. I loved the Asian influence and Graeme P is a bit of health nut so he was just bowled (PUN check!) over at how delicious something this good for you could be.

 

Alex is a working Mum (you may recognise her from Copperfields Hairdressers) and reckons this is quick and easy to make and enjoyed by the whole family. Well done Alex, a worthy winner of our Soup Hero Trophy! 

 

I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Graeme Pallister for giving up his time and Julian Jardine, the man behind our fab trophy. I truly did not want to hand it over! A proper #perthLoveFest for our first annual #SoupHero Competition - I am bursting with happy!

Please do try this out at home - and let us know how you served yours. Leave your comments here to let us know how you served yours. You can also share your photographs and ideas with us. We'd love to see them. As always, tag them#PerthLoveFest and we'll scatter them around our own social media.
