Instructions
To make the chicken soup
- Place the chicken thighs, onions, leeks, mushrooms, water, milk, and stock cubes into a pan. Season with a little salt and pepper and bring to a simmer, then cook for 20 minutes.
- Add a dash of pepper and salt, boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the cooked thighs and the bone, then chop the chicken into very small pieces.
- Place the stock back onto the heat, mix the flour and softened butter and whisk into the soup, then bring to a simmer to thicken.
- Once thickened, liquidise until you have a fine puree. Pour back into a saucepan with the cooked chicken pieces, reheat and season if needed. The cream can be added as an optional extra.
To make the ham and mustard toastie
- Place the ham, mayo, mustard, breadcrumbs and egg yolks into a bowl and mix well
- Preheat a grill to medium heat and toast the bread on both sides.
- Pile the ham mix onto one side, making a nice dome in the middle and pop it under the grill until you have a nice glaze - take your time, so it glazes, sets and does not burn all at the same time.
- Cut into diagonal slices and serve with the soup.
