Ingredients
Soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 1 medium size potato, peeled and diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 400 g passata
- 500ml / 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 sachet Gran Luchito Cantina Beans
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

- Handful of parsley, leaves finely chopped
To Serve:
- 60g / 2oz creme fraiche

How to make it
- In a heavy-based saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s hot enough, add the onion and garlic, then stir and let it cook until it softens. Add the Chipotle Paste, potatoes, carrots, and peppers. Stir and fry them lightly for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the passata into the pan, add the chicken stock, and the Cantina Beans (drained), bring to a boil, and add the shredded chicken. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer at a lower temperature for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked through.
- Finally, pour in the single cream and the parsley, stir and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat, and taste, then adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and garnish with a spoonful of creme fraiche and a handful of grated cheese scattered on top.
