Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 celery sticks
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 carrots
- 1 red pepper
- 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp Chilli flakes (or more to taste)

- 1 Knorr smoked chilli & tomato stock pot or similar
- 1 cup shredded roast chicken or 2 chicken breast/thigh fillets
- 1 tin borlotti beans, drained

- Thinly slice the onion, celery and finely chop the garlic.
- Cut the potatoes, carrots and red pepper into bite-sized pieces.
