    1 large onion, finely grated

    1 cup finely shredded rape leaves
    1 extra potato, diced

    1 celery stalk, diced
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1.5 litres chicken stock

    BlixSam Layered Flavour
    1 tsp BlixSam Arm Maat
    1 tsp BlixSam Flattie
    1 tsp BlixSam Steakhouse
    Method
    Step 1. Build the Chicken Flavour First
    Rub the chicken with the oil, BlixSam Flattie and BlixSam Dop 'n Tjop.
    Air fry at 190°C for 14 to 16 minutes until golden and cooked through.
    Allow to rest, then shred into strips.
    Step 2. Bloom the Flavour Foundation
    Heat the oil or butter in a large pot.
    Add the BlixSam Arm Maat, Flattie and Steakhouse directly into the hot oil.
    Allow the spices to bloom for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    Step 3. Build the Soup Base
    Add the grated onion, grated potato, grated carrot, grated celery and garlic.
    Cook slowly for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and fragrant.
    Step 4. Add Texture and Colour
    Add the diced potato, diced carrot, diced celery and shredded rape leaves.
    Stir well to coat everything in the flavour base.
    Step 5. Pour and Simmer
    Add the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
    Cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the soup becomes rich and hearty.
    Step 6. Finish the BlixSam Way
    Stir in the shredded chicken during the last few minutes so the flavour carries through the entire soup.
    Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
    Serve hot with fresh bread, buttery toast or braai broodjies.
    Small Tip. Big Difference.
    Blooming the Arm Maat, Flattie and Steakhouse in oil first creates a rich flavour foundation that transforms a simple chicken soup into proper comfort food.
    It's BlixSam's Lekker 😄
