Hello all,

Could someone point me in the direction of Wiflibs (Libby's) chicken and leek soup recipe please, can't seem to find it anywhere :?

Thanks, Debbie

Football. Bad manners.
I can't remember where it is, but I copied this down:

Slice up loads of leeks (I put about 3 big ones in the pot and a bit of garlic), put in a large saucepan with butter and fry until soft. Add a stock cube, boiling water and as much chicken as you can get in (I sometimes pull apart a whole, pre-cooked one). Add any seasonings you want and just leave to bubble away on the hob for a good 20 mins. The leeks become soft and delicate and it's like a cross between a stew and a soup. Sounds quite simple and boring but it's incredibly nice.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Viv, I'll give it a try tomorrow for lunch. Everyone who's tried it has said it's delicious.

When MW made it for me she also added double cream. I was ecstatic.

Libby's chicken and leek soup is the dogs bol.... tail! When my appetite was really bad on Metformin, I made it, and it was one thing I could eat. It's bl**dy lovely!
