Adding a touch of chilli to this classic dish will bring warmth and a hint of spice to your home, taking the edge off the end-of-winter chill.

The soup is made by simmering a whole chicken with carrot, onion, ginger, lemongrass, celery and maple syrup to for a rich and aromatic broth.

Potatoes and onions provide another layer of comfort, while the addition of maple syrup lends a touch of sweetness that balances with the dish’s savoury elements. 

To complete the meal, garnish with roasted peanuts and fresh coriander alongside warm roti and fluffy jasmine rice.
