  1. BEGIN THE SOUP BASE

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 200ml of boiling water and set aside. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices, and rest for 5 minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken.

  2. IT’S A GO FOR GNOCCHI

    Bring a pot (large enough for the soup) of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. SMELL THOSE AROMAS

    Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until starting to brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced celery and the carrot half-moons. Fry until golden, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, add the grated garlic, the NOMU rub, the paprika, the chopped thyme, and seasoning. Add the diluted stock and the shredded chicken. Simmer until slightly thickened 7-8 minutes. Add the cream and cook until warmed through.

  4. CRISPY GNOCCHI

    While the soup is simmering, return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter. When starting to foam, add the cooked gnocchi and fry in a single layer until browned and crispy, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
