With the wintery weather well upon us, we can think of nothing better than a warm soup to nourish tummies and add a lovely smell to the house whilst it's cooking!  As such we would love to share with you a recipe from the book - The Waldorf School Book of Soups.

Chicken Chilli Soup

500 - 600g chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

red onion, chopped

1 tsp garlic

2 Tbsp oil

400g can kidney beans

400g can pinto beans

800g can chopped tomatoes

200 - 250g tomato sauce

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp chilli flakes

1 tsp salt

1 tsp chilli powder

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tomato, diced

1 green capsicum, diced

3 to 4 mushrooms, diced

1 Tbsp cornflour, dissolved in 2 cups warm water

Combine chicken, onion, garlic, and oil in a bit pot and cook until chicken is done.  Add beans, tinned tomatoes, and spices to pot.  Bring to boil, simmer for 30 minutes.  Add tomato, green capsicum, mushrooms and cornflour to pot.  Cook on high for 5 minutes, stirring the entire time.
