Don’t underestimate this fuss-free recipe – it’s fast and family friendly, while still offering the nutritional benefits of home cooking. Skin-free chicken thighs add protein and a full flavour to the broth, while the tomatoes contribute potassium, essential for healthy whole-body functioning. The spaghetti brings the soup together, creating a hearty and filling meal. A simple way to make use of leftover chicken thighs and stock, or a quick recipe to cook from scratch, this tasty soup is perfect for those nights when you’re pressed for time in the kitchen. Fresh coriander to garnish adds another layer of flavour – substitute with parsley if preferred.
