Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Dissolve the stock cube in a large saucepan with 1.5L boiling water and place on a medium-high heat. Add the porcini mushrooms. Peel the garlic cloves, cut in half and add to the pan.
- Quarter the mushrooms. Roughly slice the celery into 1cm pieces. Peel the carrots and roughly slice into 1cm pieces, then add both to the pan. Remove the thyme leaves from their stalks, finely chop and add to the broth. Simmer for 5 mins, until the liquid darkens in colour.
- When the carrots and celery have been cooking for 5 mins, add the chicken and turmeric. Continue to simmer for 5 mins, then add the noodles and cavolo nero; simmer for another 5 mins. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
- Finely chop the parsley and add to the soup just before serving. Serve garnished with the cheez and 1/2 tbsp olive oil per portion.
