ooh this sounds nice. I’ve got a trial of the stock pot thingy with herbs so I think this will work. Just need to get a tin of butter beans

It gets very thick when it’s cooled, so be prepared for it to look more like pasta bake once it’s cooled down 🙂 A little more water for reheating takes care of it though.

This recipe sounds delicious but it is not clear if the chicken should be ready-cooked or raw. Please specify. Thanks Julie

Instead of using ‘soup’ pasta you can use spaghetti. Wrap uncooked dried spaghetti in a clean tea towel, holding the ends of the tea towel run the spaghetti along the corner edge of your work top this breaks up the spaghetti into nice little pieces without mess. Cheaper than special pasta too.
Soup Maker Club says
That sounds like a fabulous idea.
