Jamie's Paneras Squash Soup
Seared cubed chicken thigh and tender pearl onions stirred into Panera's Autumn Squash Soup, seasoned with garlic and rosemary. Served with buttered scali bread.
Ingredients
- 1 tub frozen Panera Autumn Squash Soup
- 1 large chicken thigh
- 1 can or bag pearl onions
- Garlic, minced (to taste)
- Rosemary (1 sprig or to taste)
- Olive oil, for searing
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Scali bread, buttered, for serving
Method
- Heat the soup in a medium saucepan.
- Cut the chicken thigh into cubes, removing some of the fat — keep the fat.
- In a frying pan, sear the chicken in olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic, the pearl onions, and the separated chicken fat. Sear until the chicken has a slight char on the outside and is cooked through, and the onions are tender.
- Season the soup with salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary. Once hot, add the chicken and onions, leaving the fat behind in the pan.
- Serve with buttered scali bread.
Notes
- Tip: Scali bread is a soft Italian sesame loaf — buttered and lightly toasted, it's perfect for dipping.
