Steps to make Chicken Soup:
- Place the chicken in a large pan and cover with cold water by 5cm.

- Add the vegetables and another 250ml of cold water. Bring back to a simmer and skim again if necessary.
- Put the lid on and simmer for two hours. Check the seasoning and, if significantly reduced in volume, add another 250ml water.
- Simmer for a further 1 – 2 hours.
- Add the beetroot for the last hour of cooking to give your soup the most wonderful golden colour.

- Strain the soup through a fine sieve into a clean bowl or pan and allow it to cool.
