Method

Finely chop the onion and carrots so they soften quickly and evenly.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss it with 1 tablespoon of the pesto.

Warm a saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion and carrots, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Cook the chicken in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning until golden outside and piping hot in the centre, then cool for 5 minutes if packing lunch.

Add the pesto and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the soup is savoury and the chicken is piping hot.
Taste and loosen with a splash of water if the soup is thicker than you like.
