Chicken & Borlotti Bean Minestrone 🫛🫘
As per your request! This is the recipe although I made it up on the spot so it’s a bit loose, as with all my soups. And there are lots of steps, just a heads up.
First you need to make the Whole Chicken and Stock (recipe on my website). This is because it makes a very nourishing and tasty mineral and gelatin rich meat stock (so good for you) by using the whole chicken, and then you get all the meat too which we need in the soup.
Because I know you will ask… technically you could use store bought stock/ chicken bone broth, but then you won’t have all the cooked chicken we need for the soup. It will also greatly impact the flavour and this soup is only as good as the stock used. And if it is a stock concentrate you won’t have all the gelatin and medicinal properties.
Now that that’s is out of the way…
Ingredients
Lots of olive oil
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 leek, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
2 sticks of celery, finely diced
1.5 tbsp tomato paste
3ish cloves garlic (more if you like)
1 tsp fennel seeds
All the stock you made
All the chicken you made
About 2 cups brolotti beans (I like to soak and cook mine from dry, but canned will work)
1 bunch Tuscan kale, steamed removed and leaves roughly chopped.
Generous salt for seasoning along the way.
Method
- cook the onion, leek, carrot, celery in olive oil for 15 minutes
- add garlic and fennel seeds
- add tomato paste and cook off for a minute or so
- add everything else and bring to a simmer. When the kale is cooked, remove from the heat and leave to sit for 10 minutes then serve.
Recommend with chilli flakes and pesto or herb lemon sauce if some kind! Also good just with a squeeze of lemon.

Ginger turmeric freezer shots - my current obsession and morning ritual. I don’t know why I had never had warm ginger shots before 🤷♀️ because I don’t like having cold things in the morning, but don’t feel like a full mug of tea, this is perfection!
Recipe below but it’s very forgiving.
Ingredients
40g fresh turmeric, peeled
100g fresh ginger, peeled
Juice of 4–6 lemons (about 1 cup)
1 cup water
Blend it all up, pour into silicone moulds (about 1–1.5 tbsp each), freeze. Optional to strain it through fine mesh. I’ve tried both and don’t mind the little pulp.
I usually dissolve 1 in some freshly boiled water and drink it like a warm shot. You can also have it as a tea. Optional manuka honey if I’m feeling run down.
Makes ~20 shots.

Pantry staple but make it luxury 🍾 This is just as good as a fancy dip as it is a casual toast topping or sandwich filling.
I’ve tried it with sardines too it is 10/10!
My current fave way to eat omega-3 rich fish (very important for mental health FYI), and yes I give it to my kids!
And no it can’t be made dairy free. It needs the butter.
