Chicken Porridge Soup

Recipe:

1-2 pieces of chicken, uncooked (I prefer dark meat for my soups, like thigh or drumstick...gives sooo much more flavour)
6 cups of water
a few spaghetti sticks, I used about 20 sticks
4 heaped tbsp quick oats
2 heaped tbsp of any good quality cream of vegetable powder like Knorr (the ones that come in a satchet)
a few peppercorns (5-6)
1 tsp garlic paste
salt to taste
juice of half a lemon (more if you like your soups more lemony)
I also used a bit of powdered pepper and 1 green chilli, chopped for added spice

Put your chicken into a pan, add the water, quick oats, salt, peppercorns and garlic paste. break the spaghetti sticks to about 3 inch pieces and add them in. Simmer this gently over low heat, giving the chicken time to cook and the oats to thicken.

Half-way through the cooking (about 8 mins) mix the Knorr cream of veg with a bit of water and add it in, stirring to combine.

Once the chicken feels done, remove it, let it cool slightly and then shred the meat off the bones. Discard the bones and put the chicken meat back into the pot. Add your green chillis if you're using them and continue simmering for about 10 more minutes.
