Thermomix Instructions

1. Place onion in TM bowl and chop at speed 5 for 3 seconds
2. Add oil and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on Varoma temp. In the mean time, prepare the vegies and the pasta
3. Add garlic and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 2 minutes on Varoma temp.
4. Add the pepper, thyme and seaweed to the bowl
5. Add vegetables and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 2 minutes on Varoma temp. In the mean time, cut up the chicken
6. Lay chicken out on varoma trays, allowing gaps between pieces so steam can circulate
7. Add water and stock to TM bowl and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 17 minutes on Varoma temp.
8. Add pasta to TM bowl and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on Varoma temp.
9. Set the Varoma trays aside (I like to rest them on a plate to catch the juice)
10. Pour the cooked vegie noodle soup into a separate bowl or pot, giving the TM bowl a quick scrape
11. Pop the cooked chicken pieces into the TM bowl and chop at speed 5 for 5 seconds. This should shred the chicken
12. Return the vegie noodle soup mix to the TM bowl
13. Add the extra cup of water and heat at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on 90C
14. Season to taste and serve topped with chopped parsley
