- 30ml olive oil
- 100g Nutalex low fat
- 100g Well and Good Low Carb Flour

Method
- Remove all meat from cooked chicken (and stuffing if there is any- we will not be using this)
- Place chicken bones and skin in a large pot with 4.5lt water and simmer for 2 hours.
- While stock is being made dice chicken and put in the fridge until needed. Dice all vegetables to desired size. Drain lentils and chickpeas
- When stock is ready remove all bones and skin. Add vegetables, chickpeas and lentils to the stock and cook until softened. Add chicken and stir through.
- In a separate pan melt Nutalex. When melted, add flour and cook until it starts to brown. Add some of the soup stock to this mix to form a paste and add back to the large pot to thicken.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add herbs or chilli if desired (this will not add to the calories).
