Use up leftover roast or ready-cooked pheasant in this healthy and warming soup, spiced with cumin, chilli, lime and toasted tortillas, or a handful of tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Serving 4
  For the soup
2 tbsp Mild olive oil
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
Small bunch Coriander, stalks finely chopped and leaves picked
1 Lime, zested and then cut into wedges
2 tsp Cumin, ground
1 tsp Chilli flakes
1 or 400g Can of chopped tomatoes
1 or 400g Can of black beans, rinsed and drained
600ml Chicken stock
175g Kale, thick stalks removed, leaves shredded
250g Leftover roast or ready-cooked pheasant
  To serve
4 or a handful Corn tortillas, toasted or tortilla chips
50g Feta, crumbled

1. Heat the oil

in a large saucepan, add the garlic, coriander stalks and lime zest, then fry for 2 mins until fragrant. 

2. Stir in the

cumin and chilli flakes, fry for 1 min more, then tip in the tomatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, then crush the beans against the bottom of the pan a few times using a potato masher. This will thicken the soup a little.

3. Stir the kale

into the soup, simmer for 5 mins or until tender, then tear in the pheasant and let it heat through.

4. Season to taste

with salt, pepper and juice from half the lime, then serve in shallow bowls, scattered with the feta and a few coriander leaves. Serve the remaining lime in wedges for the table, with the toasted tortillas on the side. The longer you leave the pheasant in the pan, the thicker the soup will become, so add a splash more stock if you can’t serve the soup straight away.
