Perky turkey soup

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes or so, stirring every now and then until it starts to soften.

2. Add the red pepper, ground coriander, chilli and rice and stir round the pan for about a minute.

3. Pour in the hot stock, stir in the turkey and chick peas and season well. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables and rice are tender.

4. Stir in the coriander or parsley and it's ready. (The soup may now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month.)

Variations

Sizzle some chopped bacon with the onions
Pour in a splash of dry sherry before adding the stock
Any canned pulses can replace the chick peas
Throw in some chopped sprouts - cooked or raw, it doesn't matter
For extra zing, squeeze in a little lemon juice at the end
